A low-quality video of what seems to be a Nintendo Switch 2 has emerged, prompting fan hypothesis over the as-yet-unseen console and the validity of this footage.
The video was posted on Chinese video website Bibli and was first noticed by Nintendo Soup (through Kotaku). The footage seems to point out somebody eradicating a joycon from the aspect of the Switch 2 display screen by merely pulling it off. The controllers themselves appear to sport infrared sensors (on each the left and proper joycons) and greater shoulder buttons. This matches earlier leaks, which instructed that the Switch 2 would have magnetic joycons and a extra complicated controller structure, although it could additionally preserve the identical fundamental design as the unique Switch. However, the blurry footage may very well be faux, and have a model of the console constructed utilizing data from prior leaks.
