Nintendo Switch 2 leaks verified by source as new dock details emerge
Share:
A recent Nintendo Switch 2 leak is believed to be legitimate according to a new report, which claims to have seen more photographic evidence. There has been an excess of Nintendo Switch 2 leaks this past month thanks to accessory companies, but the boldest of the lot came from a Reddit user claiming to have actually got their hands on the console itself.

Going by the name NextHandheld, they suggested the Joy-Con’s mysterious extra button was tied to ‘new experiences’ and that there will be a special bundle containing Mario Kart 9 – with a promise to share definitive proof on Christmas Day. He offered no proof, but not only did the moderators of the Nintendo Switch 2 subreddit deem NextHandheld trustworthy, but so has a reputable outlet that says they’ve seen enough evidence to believes the claims are legitimate.

A new report from The Verge says NextHandheld shared with it photos of what it believes are the inside of a Switch 2 controller rail (complete with certification logos) and, most intriguingly, the Switch 2 dock. While enough details of the Switch 2 have made their way online for people to construct 3D renders of it, there’s been very little, if any information about the console’s dock.
Although NextHandheld has remained pretty tight-lipped about certain details, The Verge believes the Switch 2 might run faster when plugged into the dock. Not only has NextHandheld hinted the dock has a fan built into it, but it apparently also has an extra large stand at the back.
