Multiple third-party case manufacturers have started listing cases and accessories for the Nintendo Switch 2, prematurely revealing the console's design.

Someone claims to have gone hands-on with the Nintendo Switch 2, giving us our clearest picture yet of the upcoming hardware.

An alleged insider claims to have already gotten their hands on a Nintendo Switch 2, and says that it will be available in three different versions.

Rumors have long swirled about the Nintendo Switch 2, Nintendo's highly anticipated follow-up to the Nintendo Switch. The Mario Maker has promised to reveal new hardware by the end of its fiscal year in March 2025, but exactly how the Switch successor will improve on the original remains the subject of speculation.

A Reddit user named NextHandheld claimed that Nintendo's upcoming console may be simply named the Switch 2. The leaker said that they obtained a retail Switch 2 unit, and shared a few details about the system. The Switch 2 Joy-Con controllers may have features that could create new experiences.

The Switch 2 is a bigger handheld with a larger screen, but rumors hint we may have to wait far into 2025 to see it in person.

It seems Dbrand is reasonably confident in its case, but we asked CEO Adam Ijaz to be sure. He says Dbrand has “actual dimensions” — not an educated guess — based on a “3D scan of the real hardware.” (When we asked how he knows that, Ijaz only said “Nice try, Nintendo. ”)
