Rumor: Switch 2 Leak Reveals Possible Joy-Con Images

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

Recent online leaks offer what appear to be the clearest images yet of the Nintendo Switch 2's Joy-Con controllers. While the Switch continues to see game releases into 2025, speculation about its successor is intensifying, especially given Nintendo's confirmation of an announcement before the end of their 2024 fiscal year. With a rumored March 2025 launch, leaks regarding the Switch 2's specs and features are proliferating.

The leaked images, initially posted on r/NintendoSwitch2 by user SwordfishAgile3472, purportedly originate from a Chinese social media platform. These photos provide a detailed view of the left Joy-Con's back and side, revealing key design elements. The images have since spread across various social media channels, seemingly validating previous rumors of magnetic Joy-Con connections. Unlike the Switch's rail system, these controllers appear to utilize magnetic fields for attachment, eliminating the need for physical contact.

Joy-Con Design Details:

The leaked images showcase a predominantly black Joy-Con with blue accents, reminiscent of the original Switch's color scheme, but with a different color distribution. The photos also hint at a revised button layout, featuring noticeably larger "SL" and "SR" buttons, and a third, unlabeled button on the back. This additional button is speculated to be a release mechanism for the magnetic connection.

The leaked Joy-Con design aligns with other recent leaks and mockups circulating online, further fueling anticipation for the official reveal. While these images offer a compelling glimpse, confirmation awaits Nintendo's official announcement.
