Rumor: Switch 2 Leak Reveals Possible Joy-Con Images

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

Recent online leaks offer the clearest images yet of the Nintendo Switch 2's Joy-Con controllers, potentially confirming design details and features. While the Nintendo Switch continues to see game releases into 2025, speculation surrounding its successor is intensifying, especially with Nintendo's confirmed announcement before the end of their 2024 fiscal year. Rumors of a March 2025 launch for the Switch 2 have fueled a surge in leaks regarding its specifications and design.

Leaked images, originating from a Chinese social media platform and shared on Reddit (r/NintendoSwitch2) by user SwordfishAgile3472, provide detailed views of the left Joy-Con's back and side. These images corroborate previous rumors about a magnetic connection system for the controllers, replacing the traditional rail-based mechanism. The magnetic attachment is clearly visible.

The leaked Joy-Cons showcase a predominantly black design with blue accents, similar to the original Switch's color scheme, but with a different color distribution. The images also reveal a revised button layout, featuring noticeably larger "SL" and "SR" buttons, and a third, unlabeled button on the back, speculated to be a magnetic release mechanism.

This leaked imagery aligns with other circulating Switch 2 leaks and mockups, further strengthening the credibility of the design details. However, official confirmation awaits Nintendo's upcoming announcement. The leaked images are a significant development, providing a more concrete glimpse into the potential design of the Switch 2's Joy-Cons, including their color scheme and innovative magnetic connection.
