Nintendo Switch 2: Rumors and Speculations

Recently, news about Nintendo’s next-generation Switch game console has been frequently leaked. After the product advertisement images of many third-party accessory manufacturers compatible with Switch 2 were made public, players got a glimpse of some changes in the appearance of the new machine. For example, Dbrand previously released a picture of the translucent protective case for Switch 2. It said that this accessory is made based on the actual machine size.


Adam Ijaz, the person in charge of Dbrand, revealed in an interview with The Verge that the size of Switch 2 is 270mm wide, 116mm high, and 14mm thick. The width of the main unit part is 200mm. The data comes from ‘3D scanning of real hardware’. In this way, compared with the Switch OLED, the overall size of Switch 2 is significantly larger. The latter’s size is 242mm x 102mm x 13.9mm. The potential size of Switch 2 has also triggered heated discussions among many players.


Some people think that Nintendo seems to also intend to follow the mainstream trend of the handheld game console market and make the main unit larger. Some players are satisfied with the larger main unit, especially the joycon handle. Some netizens said that the size of the first-generation handle is too small and it is very uncomfortable to play. In addition, many players hope that the joycon handle can be more durable.


After all, there are not a few users who encounter joystick drift. In the past few years, handheld game console manufacturers seem to have been adjusting the size of their devices. If the rumored sizes are true, it seems that Nintendo may adopt a ‘bigger and better’ route to match. In addition to appearance changes, many netizens hope that the upgraded hardware inside this new main unit can match the larger body.
