The gaming world is abuzz with new leaks surrounding the Nintendo Switch 2. These leaks have revealed massive updates to the Joy-Con controllers. While Nintendo remains tight-lipped about its highly anticipated console, this latest leak has sparked excitement and speculation among fans.
Leaked Joy-Con Features
A fuzzy but intriguing video on the Chinese site Bilibili offers a look at what are believed to be the Joy-Con controllers for the Switch 2. The most striking differences include:
Magnetic Attachments : There is rumor that the new Joy-Cons will use magnetic connections, possibly better than the originals with regard to durability and ease of attachment.
More Triggers: A new trigger or pedal on the back of the controllers suggests more options for gameplay that developers and players can take advantage of.
Larger Buttons: The SL and SR buttons are larger, perhaps to improve ergonomics and response.
IR Sensors: Two IR sensors at the bottom of the Joy-Cons may help with new motion-tracking capabilities or advanced gameplay features.
Although the video fails to confirm these details, it matches earlier rumors about Nintendo pushing forward with innovation in its controller designs.
Backward Compatibility Confirmed
Backward compatibility has been confirmed as part of the Switch 2 to play games from the original Switch library without any issues or conflicts. This is a result of Nintendo’s dedication to preserving its vast gaming ecosystem.
The leak implies that the Switch 2 is already fully in production because insiders said that the leaked images and video actually originated from a factory worker in China. Though Nintendo did not make any statements regarding the leak, President Shuntaro Furukawa restated that the company will reveal the console before March 2025, aligning with the current financial year.
