Nintendo Switch 2 Leaked: Rumored Specs and Design Revealed

Breaking News: Leaked Photos and Specs of the Nintendo Switch 2

It was a surprise, but the gaming world now is in excitement because leaked images and specs of the much-awaited Nintendo Switch 2 hit the web. The unsubstantiated leaks so far indicate that this would be a more superior product than the current model and can change the handheld gaming world.

The Leak: So Far What We Know

Featuring improvements largely carried over from the Shift Mini and other Chinese-produced gaming devices, the Nintendo Switch 2 pretty much looks like the hybrid you loved while actually improving several key things. Key Improvements By Images first first seen in Chinese Social Media Site then later posted on Reddit. The Nintendo Switch 2 apparently maintains the hybrid design its predecessor so lovingly contained but introduces a few very significant improvements to it:

Size: The display is 8 inches, as large as that may have been, as against that of the first version, at about 6.2 inches
Profile: A sleek profile with smaller bezels
Joy-Cons: New magnetic attachment system and revised button layout
Better Hardware: Claimed to be about three times faster speed than the original

Under the Hood: Leaked Configurations

Nintendo is nowhere to be found to release some official info, but what’s leaked so far seems pretty interesting:

RAM: 12GB instead of 4GB
Internal Storage: 256GB from 32GB
Connectivity: HDMI 2.1 for better and clearer outputs
USB-C: Side-placed at the top for easier docking

Industry Insiders Weigh In

An insider, speaking to VGC, says that it has confirmed the leaked images indeed match the information shared with development partners. It would corroborate this leak but is still a rumor and nothing will be ascertained until Nintendo officially confirms it.

What This Means for Gamers

If this rumor is true, then the Nintendo Switch 2 would mark a great step forward for the company:

Better Performance The specs alleged in these rumors point to massive improvement in gaming performance
Better Portable Gaming Experience: Higher screen and narrow bezels should significantly make portable gaming even more exciting
Access to Market Opportunity: Such improvements will enable Nintendo to gain deeper ground in the expanding handheld PC gaming market

Potential Launch Date

The said announcement may be released in the following statements

Announcement: By September’s end or early October 2024
Release: Before Nintendo’s Fiscal Year closes on March 31st, 2025

The Broader Picture: Placing Nintendo into Context

This perceived ‘evolution’ of the design rather than a significant divergence may well show that Nintendo is feeling confident about the hybrid console concept. By building off of what it already has, Nintendo could be looking to do this so:

Keep its user base
Bring in more new users with better performance
Compete on the same level as portable PC game devices like the Steam Deck and Asus ROG Ally

Price Expectations

Unverified some analysts speculate that

Console Price: Might be around $400
Game Price: Likely to be around $70, as it will be a high-end game similar to the rest, just as all the games in other platforms are being sold currently

What Next?

So, with all the rumors circling around, here are some questions that still rest in the gaming community:

Whether these leaks are to be believed or just another rumor
What’s really going to make the Switch 2 different than those other PCs for handheld gaming
Exclusive titles from the company with this new hardware
