A few months ago, Nintendo made the existence of its new video game console official. The one we call Nintendo Switch 2 should thus be marketed during the first months of 2025. A machine which should not stray much from the current Nintendo Switch, and which should even largely adopt its design, while obviously boosting its technical sheet. A “big Nintendo Switch and more powerful” in short? This is what all the rumors suggest, including those coming from a prop maker who recently had access to very precise plans of the console.
A more… bulky Nintendo Switch 2?
Indeed, according to SwitchUpcertain accessories specialists have already received very precise instructions concerning the new Nintendo Switch 2. This, of course, to allow them to develop the new accessories to come, starting with screen protectors for example or even game covers. transportation. The magazine thus received what would be a Nintendo Switch 2, printed in 3D.
Enough to initially confirm the larger size of the screen of the future Nintendo console, which should be spread over a diagonal of 8″. On the top of the machine, we should find an enlarged grille to evacuate the hot air accumulated inside, while the volume buttons would be slightly more compact. The 3.5 mm jack port remains positioned in the same place.
Added to this is the presence of a USB-C port directly on the top of the machine, in addition to the one already present under the console. So practical for playing in tabletop mode, while loading the machine. As for the joy-cons, the new models are slightly wider, with a more rounded side than ever. This should delight big hands.
The layout of the buttons and joysticks, however, remains identical, with the exception of a brand new button which appears on the right joy-con, alongside the capture button. We will now see if the latter will really be present, and what its usefulness will be.
At present, it is difficult to know more, officially of course, about this new upcoming Nintendo console. We already know that the latter will be backwards compatible with Switch games already available, with a cartridge reader present on this mockup, the size of which is slightly larger than that of the current Nintendo Switch.
Note that if some dreamed of seeing the Nintendo Switch 2 presented at the Game Awards, this was ultimately not the case, Nintendo not having received the slightest reward during this evening which dedicated Astro Bot as a gaming game. the Year 2024.
