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

Recent online leaks offer a clearer picture of the upcoming Nintendo Switch 2's Joy-Con controllers, fueling speculation surrounding the console's imminent release. While the Switch continues to see game releases into 2025, the whispers of a successor are growing louder, especially with Nintendo's confirmed announcement before the end of their 2024 fiscal year. Anticipation is high, and rumors regarding the Switch 2's specifications and features are rampant.

With a rumored March 2025 launch date, leaks have proliferated, detailing potential hardware and features. Third-party developers and insiders have reportedly shared images of the console itself, adding to the buzz. Information regarding the Joy-Con's retention and color schemes has also surfaced. New images, posted on the r/NintendoSwitch2 subreddit by user SwordfishAgile3472, purportedly originating from a Chinese social media platform, provide the clearest view yet of the controllers.

These images, subsequently shared widely across social media, seemingly confirm the rumored magnetic connection for the Switch 2's Joy-Cons. Instead of the traditional rail system, these images suggest a magnetic attachment mechanism, eliminating the need for physical contact.

Decoding the Joy-Con Leak:

The leaked photos showcase a primarily black Joy-Con with blue accents, reminiscent of the original Switch's color scheme. The images, however, only reveal the side and back of the controller, limiting a full view of the color distribution. The images also offer a glimpse at the button layout, showing noticeably larger "SL" and "SR" buttons, along with an additional, unlabeled button on the back.

This third button is speculated to be a release mechanism for the magnetic Joy-Con connection. The leaked Joy-Con design aligns with other recent leaks and mockups of the Switch 2 console. Until Nintendo officially unveils the Switch 2, however, these details remain unconfirmed.
