Nintendo Switch 2 leaks continue as insiders insist reveal is today

Despite complete silence from Nintendo, multiple sources remain confident the Switch 2 reveal is just hours away. Video game fans are going to be on tenterhooks today, while waiting for Nintendo to say anything about the new Nintendo Switch 2 console. Multiple, reliable sources have pointed to January 16 as the date for a formal reveal but the expected annoucement of an announcement has not happened, so if it is going to be unveiled today it’s going to be a shadow drop.

Even after near constant leaks since December, Nintendo’s only response has been to say a Switch 2 replica by accessory company Genki wasn’t ‘official.’ But as scepticism and impatience increases amongst fans, insiders are sticking to their prediction.
In the meantime, new leaks continue to happen, include new images of the console’s redesigned Joy-Con controllers. This comes from NextHandheld, the same individual who claimed to have a final unit for the Switch 2 and shared images of its dock and controllers around Christmas time.
The last Joy-Con pictures they shared only showed one controller on its side, but now they’veposted a look at both controllers from the front, albeit in the hands of grotesque looking AI-generated Donkey Kong. Although the AI image makes it look fake, the Joy-Cons appear to be legitimate. At the very least, they match with NextHandheld’s previous claims that they’ll come in matte black, with each controller having blue or orange colouring along the rails and around the control sticks.
