Leaked Images and Rumors Suggest Nintendo Switch 2 Reveal Could Be Imminent

Unconfirmed leaks showcase alleged hardware details as speculation grows about a January announcement for Nintendo's next console.

A leaker shared images online purportedly showing the Nintendo Switch 2 console and dock, though their authenticity remains unverified.
The alleged images suggest the new console's Joy-Con controllers may attach magnetically rather than via a rail system, differing from the original Switch design.
The dock, featured in the leaks, appears similar to the Switch OLED dock but with more rounded edges and ports including USB-A, USB-C, HDMI, and Ethernet.
Speculation is mounting that Nintendo could announce the Switch 2 on January 8, 2025, based on a countdown from a previously reliable leaker on the Chinese platform Weibo.
Nintendo has confirmed its next console will be revealed before the end of March 2025, though the exact details and timing remain uncertain.
