A roundup of major details that was posted this week on reddit in regards to the Nintendo Switch 2, the successor to Nintendo’s best-selling hybrid console, is most certainly legit, in line with an editor with a serious tech publication who got in contact with the leaker and discovered that lots of the main points he had shared lines up with what he’s heard and seen to date. “NextHandheld’s source has heard it is likely to be announced as soon as January…I saw an image of a dock, with the identical logo as the unique Nintendo Switch, only with a 2 attached,” an editor with The Verge wrote for what is seemingly the official name for the console, ending rumors of what some had hoped to be a “Super Nintendo Switch.” See below for the supposed details on the console, including what’s imagined to be a $399–$499 price, a March release date, and a brand new dock that is claimed to feature some notable changes, including an updated power spec.
…the Nintendo Switch 2 might finally eliminate the infamous “Joy-Con Drift” that plagues its controllers to this present day. NextHandheld claims the controllers can have magnetic Hall effect joysticks, which don’t contain the identical deteriorating sensor material and will be recalibrated easily.
…the photo I saw of a joystick rail region comprises no rail: it’s just an extended, rounded, hole area, with a 13-pin connector that stands out so it could actually slot into the Joy-Con. NextHandheld says there’s a physical magnetic click whenever you attach them, and that you simply’ll press a much larger button on the controller, one which’s physically connected to a magnet, to release.
The unique Nintendo Switch had a tiny, easy-to-topple gumstick of a kickstand, and the Switch OLED had a large, flat plate. However the Nintendo Switch 2 will feature a U-shaped rail of a kickstand, in line with a photograph that NextHandheld shared with me.
…NextHandheld says the dock is rated for 60W, while the Switch 2 is rated for 45W, each of which could be substantially higher than the unique if true.
