But every leak up until this point has had the joycons Look like this. If the Black was only a third Party casing, it wouldnt really Look good if the joycons were attached to the switch without it. I kinda doubt it.
@@IAmNotASandwich453this doesn’t mean the joycons themselves aren’t black. They can still be black and have a black casing to protect it and allow other accessories to attach to it
Those big grips go so hard man. Can't wait to chill on the couch with those things in each hand playing skyrim and absolutely deleting bandits with my motion controlled bow. 😂
Man, never thought I'd see the Sega Saturn return (for context, they announced and released that console on the same day, which caused a havoc among stores)
@bradleybulmer76 So it will be happy? Because if you're trying to use 'gay' in a derogatory meaning for stupid, then please see yourself out, it's not cool or cute.
They probably think the amount of attention to Genki is worth the stress with Nintendo. We will see with the next console how that turns out. My guess is that this company is sliding down the accessory supplier list on Nintendos side.
Then we would have been lied to by third party accessory manufacturers, which is illegal. They’re all going out of business from lawsuits. Big hot product turned out to be fake.
Part of me is convinced that Nintendo was supposed to reveal the Switch 2 by now and something happened to delay that, but other companies like Genki were already scheduled to show off their new products so the went ahead did so. Kinda similar to how Paramount had to delay the original Sonic movie to change the design but other companies had already made and shipped out merch that had the old design since the change was made at the very last minute.
Thats exactly what happened id bet on it. These companies are not gonna willingly push back their announcements and sales just because nintendo made a mistake. Nintendo can afford to let the switch 2 launch whenever, these accessory companies are more dependent on the release window being maintained.
I hope they have another kind of showcase event like they did in January 2017. It was such a fun and entertaining way to present the Switch and all of its physical features (as well as announcing games for it), it'd be cool to see something like that again.
Genki is a huge company so I wouldn't be surprised if Nintendo approved this 'leak' even if they say they didn't or whatever PR talk they officially state. At this point Nintendo is going to have to officially unveil the Switch 2, the launch date, and the price.
Nintendo will announce they are scrapping the successor due to leaks and no new system is coming for another 7 years. That will teach people to leak stuff. They will say we will try this again in 7 years, maybe people will keep their mouth shut then.
Bingo! How much you want to bet that there's a few more peripherals coming that will sync to the joycons? My guess is that the Alarmo will receive further game sprites and themes via the Switch 2 tho idk what the connectivity will be through. Could be ir related, could be an Alarmo mini game arena like there was with the 3DS decorations minigame
Nintendo just drops a Trailer that says this "OK FINE" Description "Some leakers have snuffed us out & we had enough, so say hello to the Nintendo Switch 2. Coming sometime in April 2025!"
That text needs to be overlayed on the actual video as a disclaimer in the beginning. And have the background behind the text be a softly blurred image of shunturo furukawa with a pouted face and arms crossed 😂
The color sticks isn’t going to save those joycons if they’re still gonna drift over time. They better not make the joysticks the same exact way so they drift.
Demos are free, the console is not xD You cant sell a product at 400€ or more and expect ppl to have the money ready day 1. Thats why expensive electronics always get announced months before launch, so ppl can save money to get it and gather information to be sure if they want it or not.
It couldn't be a motion sensor without an accessory. To use an IR sensor that way you need a black glass lens to block out all wavelengths bar IR, which is missing here. A mouse doesn't need this as all light is blocked out by virtue of it being held flat against a surface.
They just confirmed the logo with that video as well. You get a quick glimpse of the original logo with a 2 next to it as the dock rotates in the video.
Honestly if Nintendo just calls it Switch 2 I don’t think that’s a bad thing all we wanted was just a more powerful switch and that’s exactly what the switch 2 is supposed to be can’t wait till Nintendo announces this console
@@gabrielcabral6142 Possible. I did see an article though where Genki was telling people at CES that they actually had a final version of the Switch 2 and that's what they based their 3D models off of. Whether that's true or not, 🤷♂️
@@outright4697 All we wanted? You don't speak for everyone. I certainly don't. I wanted a NEW gimmick that is fresh and to return to a dedicated HOME console. I don't want 7 more years with basically the same damn product.
Since it is magnetic, a hall effect sensor could have done that. Far less complicated than a window plus a specific sensor. Also why would the console need that? There is also (probably) a wired connection and the eject button position to detect something like that. The mouse function is a 100% logic reason for that and even the buttons become handy that way.
Um Dude....this is obviously a Genki Full Body Case to go around the Switch 2 itself. You can seen the raised lip around everything. Including around the front of the system, the power/sound rocker, the card slot. and around the kickstand. So the detachable grips are grips added to the Genki Case. There were multiple types of case just like this for the Original Switch.
forget the system itself, the most important thing for me on rather i'd buy the darn thing, is what games are being released at launch and or announced for later, there's no way they are gonna do an early release again while not having any good launch titles like they did with the Wii U, don't give me any of that Switch 2 Sports bullshit either.
2:51 here you can clearly that is a case covering the hardware, that is a accessory for the switch 2, what explains that grip that attaches at the back.
The pin could also serve a dual function other than detatching the joycon - when the pin is depressed flat on a table it could engage/trigger the 'mouse mode'
...... I'm betting later this month or next month they're going to reveal the console 50% chance they're going to do it and a 50% chance they're not going to do it.
_HOLD IT!_ That ring on the back of the case: Does this mean that the Next Switch will have wireless charging?!? Regardless, I still say that CES 2025 could yield an official unveiling, tomorrow or Thursday perhaps, though I make no guarantees.
It’s crazy! Nintendo announced the Switch in 2015 and it came out March 2017, 2 years later! At this point, Nintendo is gonna announce switch 2 like 2 months before it comes out!
@@Itspillowpillartikkamasala wasn't that just the nx codename and that there working on something? Im pretty sure switch 1 reveal to release turn around was pretty fast?
@@warioscousin lol i wouldn't the way the last few years have went? Pretty easy to imagine some big events fucking up international shipping and manufacturing
Honestly I think an 8 inch screen with a bit of bezel is nicer than an 8 inch screen with very slim bezels! That means it will be a bit bigger and hopefully more comfortable, and they have room to increase the screen size more mid generation like the switch oled! Even with my size medium lady hands, the original switch was quite uncomfortable without some sort of grips making it bigger
3:11 those attachment rails are not present on the renders of the joycons when they're charging. So that's not a part of the joycons by themselves, but something GENKI is manufacturing.
doesnt look like a mouse sensor, looks more like an infrared diode behind an IR filter, like a TV remote. could be used like some sort of reverse Wii sensor bar (which had camera in the remote and LEDs at the TV)
I've hypothesized that Nintendo will reveal the Switch 2 comfortably before Inauguration Day in the US, which is January 20. After that, the news will probably be heavily focused on politics for weeks or a few months, which would detract from the attention the Switch 2 could get in non-gaming news sources. They'd want a week where one of the biggest stories is the Switch 2, so maybe January 9-14 for the reveal.
As for the attachemnt points on the back. Those are definitely part of a case the company is showing off. you can see a lip near the buttons and cart slot
Why is Nintendo waiting till the last moment to reveal this thing? Hopefully, Nintendo will learn to reveal their stuff before someone else does reveals it for them.
Unless they release an adapter, I doubt it. From photos, there is no way to slide the og joycons into, not to mention there is a new pokey circuit board thingy that goes into the new joycons when seated It WILL work wirelessly though via bluetooth. We shall see what happens!
I just thought about this: They could make it so there is a accessory that puts both joycons next to eachoter on their sides, making it a mouse using the ZL/ZR buttons as mouse clicks! (If the LED is for a mouse)
All of this makes me think Nintendo "knew" it was inevitable for leaks to come out so they didn't care that much, they kinda expected it, everybody is familiar with the Switch form factor so it's not that big of a deal, some people even find it not as exciting for this same reason. But this gets me very excited because they may be very confident in some secret feature or something else they are hiding and we are yet to hear from them directly, not to mention the software they've been working on.
i know the japanese devs are running around with their heads cut off like chickens. just present the new system already nintendo got damn the surprise is already spoiled
It's another IR Sensor to better see the Rock Paper Scissors crap. (Also the sensor is a way to tell the system thay the joycon isn't detached so that it won't pause the game like it does with modern switches after years of use.
It’s pretty clear that Nintendo doesn’t care about the hardware leaks now, maybe because it is just the same design as the original Switch and there’s nothing much to spoil. The big reveals will be the games coming out this year, and I think Nintendo will announce multiple huge releases alongside the official hardware reveal.
Somehow these leaks feel like Nintendo’s new tactic of promoting their product? Companies like Dbrand and others leaking things very big like nothing is wrong with it makes no sense to me.
My biggest takeaway is that the joycons will be flat again ugh. I was hoping they'd have grips like the Legion Go do, even if that makes them chunky monkeys. They could be detachable from the start, so I'm still hoping and coping on this lol
Looks cool I guess. They should have gone with an interchangeable dpad. The lack of proper controls for a fighting game, will put off a lot of potential buyers.
Im hoping for a mouse but those joycons seem way too thin to be comfortable to hold for extended periods as a mouse. Unless theres some kind of mouse "dock" that you atttach the joycon to.
It's actually just becoming strange that the console hasn't been formally revealed yet. I mean, we've seen literally everything of it. To the point where the majority of marketing people are seeing of this console are all related to third party accessories rather than Nintendo themselves. I don't know if they want to wait for CES and Trump Inauguration to be over so they can dominate the news cycle or what, but it's getting weird. I do not recall the reveal of Switch 1 being like this, a few patent leaks here and there but that was kinda it.
I see a circle on the back of the Switch 2 in the render, I know its probably not the case, but that would be cool if that were a Mag-Safe magnet, and would allow a battery pack with wireless charging.
If Genki is releasing their accessories within 3-4 months, then I have to believe the Switch 2 will release within that time period as well. If they wanted to have a window period, Genki could have probably said December 31, 2025. Seeing as they did not, the Switch 2 reveal and release has to be close.
It's super interesting how there's basically nothing left for Nintendo to reveal except the price and the software, and there's been no real leaks on anything to do with the software. It makes me think that Nintendo is 'allowing' some of these 3rd party manufacturer leaks (or reveal plans changed after NDA time limits were locked in), because unlike with Switch 1, they know that the hardware is the least interesting part of it, and want to focus on the software as much as possible when it's time to actually announced. Especially given that the leaks have kept the conversation on Switch 2 within the specialist media, without them having to do anything. Mainstream media is unlikely to pick up leaks, so for the mass market - they still get to be in charge of the announcement. I'm sure I'm not the only person here who's already sold on the Switch 2, on the basis of it being an upgraded Switch - right now; I just want to know what games are coming, and when.
I have been skeptical we're getting a January reveal until now, but these leaks are ramping up hard in a way they haven't in past cases. I'm starting to feel it's coming very soon
Nintendo watching us drool over and want Switch 2 (Super Switch) to be revealed as soon as possible be like: let them be…drop the bait more to entice these fools Tbh i know damn well Nintendo are playing with us and they just LOVE to tease us with their mystery xD
well if I understand this is the look once the cover and accessories are on we do not know what is below it... I also hope as it looks really bad in my op. If what I think is true we can expect a very thin and sleek switch, very similar to the old but much thinner than that.
do i think it can be used as a mouse? no i personally think its the same sensor in the nintendo switch joy cons that are used to detect when its moving thats about it.
Wait, isn’t the product the black case that the manufacturer is advertising? The colors are possible the traditional colors from the original switch launch so it’s not stepping on the new products toes.
So it looks like that back trigger presses a button on the inside of the Switch, which disables the permanent electromagnet on the Joycon. The pin helps separate it. Also looks like an optical sensor on the bottom. Nintendo is sick 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
so... will it have 4k and all that? I've kind of kept my head out of the rumor mill up until now because I didn't want to get my hopes up, but if everyone is saying this seems to be in line with the rumors then I guess I'll jump in just a bit...
I hope the Pro controller for this console actually has paddles in the back. I find it hard to play games without it especially when Xbox Elite and PS5 Edge controllers have them.
I believe this is 100% accurate, while I am sure Nintendo is super not happy about these leaks, the hardware is actually going to be the least of their marketing for this thing. Because this is an iteration on the Switch it won't have as much impact as the original, so how are they going to bring the wow factor? I think it will be two screens using video streaming to the dock, I also think it will be the 4K upscaling and MOST important will be the games. I think Nintendo is holding off the release to make sure that have a killer lineup like 2017.
The nintendo switch 2 will be an day one purchase for me Madden, mario, call of duty, Zelda, pokemon, nba 2k, Kirby, metroid, elden ring, dark souls, is all that i need for the first year of the system I'll be set for a long time
Tbf if it's announced in, let's say a week, that could be 3 months prior to an April launch, which is only 2 months fewer than the original Switch. Definitely quick though, for sure
Dang, crazy how quickly the reveals have ramped up. Personally, I won’t be getting it anytime soon, I’m on PS for now, but I could totally see myself getting it at some point. I’ve loved my 2017 Switch for ages, so I’m due for a bit of a break from Nintendo personally.
At this point, I'm thinking Nintendo is just letting them leak it.
Always, free hype
I’m surprised Nintendo isn’t suing everyone 💀
correct the next nintendo is not what you all think
@@hayden172because they are allowing the leaks.
Yeah because if Nintendo does sue, people will find out about it, proving that the leak was real

In case it wasn't clear, those Joycons are in a black protective case made by Genki. That's where the latches on the back come from.

I think its guaranteed to be announced this month and i think the April date is accurate for the release date.
My bet is on this week like the Switch 1. It got "delayed" due to the mid week holiday and new year positions, but that's the calendars fault.

To the point where the majority of marketing people are seeing of this console are all related to third party accessories rather than Nintendo themselves. I don't know if they want to wait for CES and Trump Inauguration to be over so they can dominate the news cycle or what, but it's getting weird. I do not recall the reveal of Switch 1 being like this, a few patent leaks here and there but that was kinda it.
I see a circle on the back of the Switch 2 in the render, I know its probably not the case, but that would be cool if that were a Mag-Safe magnet, and would allow a battery pack with wireless charging.
Just give me Mario kart 9 and Mario maker 3 please! 🙏🏻
New Mario Kart is rumored to be a launch or near launch title
I'm not really seeing anything inregards to the Switch 2 dock has some sort of built-in hardware but nonetheless "I'M HYPED" for this thing.🤞🏼
If Genki is releasing their accessories within 3-4 months, then I have to believe the Switch 2 will release within that time period as well. If they wanted to have a window period, Genki could have probably said December 31, 2025. Seeing as they did not, the Switch 2 reveal and release has to be close.
It's super interesting how there's basically nothing left for Nintendo to reveal except the price and the software, and there's been no real leaks on anything to do with the software.
It makes me think that Nintendo is 'allowing' some of these 3rd party manufacturer leaks (or reveal plans changed after NDA time limits were locked in), because unlike with Switch 1, they know that the hardware is the least interesting part of it, and want to focus on the software as much as possible when it's time to actually announced.
Especially given that the leaks have kept the conversation on Switch 2 within the specialist media, without them having to do anything. Mainstream media is unlikely to pick up leaks, so for the mass market - they still get to be in charge of the announcement.
I'm sure I'm not the only person here who's already sold on the Switch 2, on the basis of it being an upgraded Switch - right now; I just want to know what games are coming, and when.
The hardware isn't that uninteresting, I'm sure the next Steamdeck will heavily borrow from whatever Switch 2 pioneers
I have been skeptical we're getting a January reveal until now, but these leaks are ramping up hard in a way they haven't in past cases. I'm starting to feel it's coming very soon
Didn't take André as a Dead by Daylight fan
Been HOOKED (get it?! ;) for a couple of years now. I mostly play Survivor though; killer stresses me out too much lol
Mouse scanner is actually the Vitality sensor
The showcase is likely happening this month now. I've seen people suggest this week, but I think it will be after DK releases.
They’re screwed, the ninjas are gonna be on their asses now 😂
Nintendo watching us drool over and want Switch 2 (Super Switch) to be revealed as soon as possible be like: let them be…drop the bait more to entice these fools
Tbh i know damn well Nintendo are playing with us and they just LOVE to tease us with their mystery xD
well if I understand this is the look once the cover and accessories are on we do not know what is below it... I also hope as it looks really bad in my op. If what I think is true we can expect a very thin and sleek switch, very similar to the old but much thinner than that.
do i think it can be used as a mouse? no i personally think its the same sensor in the nintendo switch joy cons that are used to detect when its moving thats about it.
Wait, isn’t the product the black case that the manufacturer is advertising? The colors are possible the traditional colors from the original switch launch so it’s not stepping on the new products toes.
Nice video! Not long to go before the reveal now ❤
Funny if Nintendo just leaves the switch 2 for pre order and not even have a presentation.
It looks like a whole body shell case and those grips lide on and off the proprietary case, not the switch itself.
If its coming out in April they probably are gonna reveal in by febuary for at least 3 months to build hype. But yeah PLEASE just reveal it DAMN.
Nintendo too stubborn for their own good lol
Nintendo knew what they were doing. Free marketing for them and they haven't even announced it yet 😂
So it looks like that back trigger presses a button on the inside of the Switch, which disables the permanent electromagnet on the Joycon. The pin helps separate it. Also looks like an optical sensor on the bottom. Nintendo is sick 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Dude that is clearly a case. You can tell on the top.
Really unfortunate we had to see a reveal from a completely different company
I hope the switch 2 is backwards compatible with switch 1 games and accessories.
Man, at this point, I'm just happy to hear we don't have to wait much longer.
Definitely going to be a wait I doubt it’s coming out in April Nintendo probably pushed everything back
so... will it have 4k and all that? I've kind of kept my head out of the rumor mill up until now because I didn't want to get my hopes up, but if everyone is saying this seems to be in line with the rumors then I guess I'll jump in just a bit...
I hope the Pro controller for this console actually has paddles in the back. I find it hard to play games without it especially when Xbox Elite and PS5 Edge controllers have them.
What is work on are switch games? Or do we have to get new switch? Games for it
I believe this is 100% accurate, while I am sure Nintendo is super not happy about these leaks, the hardware is actually going to be the least of their marketing for this thing. Because this is an iteration on the Switch it won't have as much impact as the original, so how are they going to bring the wow factor? I think it will be two screens using video streaming to the dock, I also think it will be the 4K upscaling and MOST important will be the games. I think Nintendo is holding off the release to make sure that have a killer lineup like 2017.
Why are so many people excited to use the joy con as a mouse lol
The nintendo switch 2 will be an day one purchase for me
Madden, mario, call of duty, Zelda, pokemon, nba 2k, Kirby, metroid, elden ring, dark souls, is all that i need for the first year of the system I'll be set for a long time
It is not releasing in 2 months after a reveal! This isn't releasing in April
Tbf if it's announced in, let's say a week, that could be 3 months prior to an April launch, which is only 2 months fewer than the original Switch. Definitely quick though, for sure
The times where products needed 8 months of marketing is over my guy. Nintendo could do a shadow drop of a system if they really wanted to.
You mean 3 ? Wdym 2
Dang, crazy how quickly the reveals have ramped up. Personally, I won’t be getting it anytime soon, I’m on PS for now, but I could totally see myself getting it at some point. I’ve loved my 2017 Switch for ages, so I’m due for a bit of a break from Nintendo personally.
@GameXplain
Could that dock work for the Switch OLED
Everybody that doubted NextHandheld owes them an apology
I'll believe it when it's actually revealed by Nintendo.
Wish it was more ergonomically shaped at the back, like a Steam Deck/N64 pad
The great thing about a modular console is that you can get different controllers with better grips
