Rumor: Switch 2 Leak Reveals Possible Joy-Con Images

Nintendo Switch 2 Joy-Con Leak: A Closer Look at the New Controllers

Recent leaks suggest we're getting closer to an official unveiling of the Nintendo Switch's successor. New images circulating online appear to confirm the design of the Switch 2's Joy-Con controllers, offering a clearer picture than previous leaks. While the Switch still has a 2025 game release lineup, the console's lifespan may be nearing its end, with Nintendo promising a reveal by the end of their 2024 fiscal year. Anticipation is high, fueling a surge in rumors and leaks surrounding the Switch 2.

With a rumored March 2025 launch, speculation about the Switch 2's specs and features is rampant. Third-party developers and insiders have contributed to the buzz, sharing purportedly accurate photos of the console. Details regarding Joy-Con functionality and color options have also emerged. The latest leak, featuring high-resolution images, seemingly confirms the Joy-Con's appearance.

Shared on the r/NintendoSwitch2 subreddit by user SwordfishAgile3472, the images – reportedly sourced from a Chinese social media platform – provide the clearest view yet of the Joy-Cons, showcasing the back and side of the left controller. These images have since spread across social media, bolstering the persistent rumor of magnetic Joy-Con connections. Instead of the traditional rail system, the controllers appear to utilize magnetic attachment.

Understanding the Switch 2 Joy-Con Leak

The leaked images reveal a predominantly black Joy-Con with blue accents, echoing the original Switch's color scheme, but with a reversed color emphasis. The blue element is more prominent on the magnetic connection point rather than the controller's main body. The images also offer a glimpse at the button layout, showing noticeably larger "SL" and "SR" buttons, and a previously unseen third button on the back.

This additional button is speculated to be a release mechanism for the magnetic Joy-Con connection. Interestingly, the leaked Joy-Con design aligns with other recent leaks and mockups of the Switch 2 console. However, until Nintendo provides official confirmation, the details remain unverified.
