A few days ago, we saw a purported Nintendo Switch 2 case that seemed to confirm the next-gen console’s new design. The Switch 2 console seen in the dbrand case looked like what you’d expect from the 2025 device.
It’s still a handheld tablet-like console with Joy-Cons on the sides, but it appeared to have a larger display. The controllers were almost identical to their predecessors but slightly larger to match the console’s bigger footprint. They also featured a few additional buttons. It was nothing too crazy, not that we expected Nintendo to offer a significant redesign with the Switch 2.
But, as it turns out, dbrand’s leak isn’t even our best unofficial look at the Switch 2. A YouTuber got their hands on a Nintendo Switch 2 dummy console from a different accessory maker. It’s a high-quality model with detachable magnetic controllers that match what we saw in the dbrand leak.
It’s very likely this is our first look at the full Nintendo Switch 2 design, months ahead of the official announcement. It’s almost certainly the real deal — if this is fake, someone went through a whole lot of trouble just to get five minutes of attention.
