Nintendo Switch 2 Joy-Con Leak: A Closer Look at the Magnetic Controllers
Recent online leaks suggest a strong possibility that we've finally gotten a clear look at the Nintendo Switch 2's Joy-Con controllers. While the original Switch continues to see new releases into 2025, whispers of its successor are growing louder, especially with Nintendo's confirmed announcement slated for the end of their 2024 fiscal year. Speculation about the Switch 2's features and specifications is rampant, fueled by rumors from third-party developers and insiders. These leaks include details about the Joy-Cons, their color scheme, and a significant change to their connection mechanism.
New images, originating from a Chinese social media platform and shared on the r/NintendoSwitch2 subreddit by user SwordfishAgile3472, provide the clearest view yet of the Switch 2's Joy-Cons. The pictures showcase the back and side of the left Joy-Con, revealing key details. The images corroborate earlier rumors of a magnetic connection system, replacing the traditional rail-based attachment.
Understanding the Leaked Joy-Con Images:
The leaked photos highlight a predominantly black Joy-Con with blue accents, reminiscent of the original Switch's color scheme, but with a reversed emphasis. The images also offer a glimpse at the button layout, showing notably larger "SL" and "SR" buttons, and a mysterious third button on the back. This additional button is speculated to be a release mechanism for the magnetic connection.
These Joy-Con images align with other leaked images and mockups of the Switch 2 console itself, adding further credence to their authenticity. However, until Nintendo provides official confirmation, the details remain speculative. The rumored March 2025 launch date adds to the anticipation surrounding the console's imminent reveal.
