If you listen closely, it feels like you can hear the jingle of plastic and metal for Nintendo’s next console as its manufactured and assembled in faraway factories. You can almost sense its launch lineup coming into focus as the company’s developers prepare to put their finishing touches on whimsical new experiments.

A new leak has allegedly revealed the design of the Nintendo Switch 2. However, this leak should be taken with a grain of salt.

Official news on the Nintendo Switch 2 remains elusive beyond Nintendo confirming it’s working on a follow-up to its wildly popular home console/handheld hybrid system. But our wait for a first glimpse at Nintendo’s next-gen hardware may be over thanks to a new leak.

A new leak claims that Nintendo's next console will be called simply the Nintendo Switch 2. It'll also reportedly have black and white controllers by default, to make for a new look. The amount of gossip and hearsay spreading about Nintendo's next games console is reaching a fever pitch, but that doesn't mean some of it won't be accurate.

These images also showcase just how enormous the Switch 2 is compared to the original Switch. The leak gave us an exact measurement of the console block itself (206 x 115 x 14 millimeters), which is a lot larger than the original Switch's measurement of 173 x 102 x 14 millimeters.

The purportedly leaked information, if accurate, shows that the design won't change much, but there are major hardware upgrades inside.

Leaked photos and renders seem to reveal the final design of the Switch 2 ahead of Nintendo's official announcement.
