Reliable leaker OnLeaks (via 91mobiles) has released renders claiming it is for the Nintendo Switch 2. OnLeaks in the past has posted accurate renders for Samsung phones and Pixel devices.
The leaker has stated the successor to the Nintendo Switch will come with an 8.4-inch screen. This is bigger than the 7-inch screen of the Switch OLED and the 6.2-inch screen of the original Switch.
The size of the Switch 2 will be larger than the original Switch with it being 271mm (10.67in) x 116.4 (4.58in) x 31.4mm (1.24in) in size. The new Joy-Cons are also bigger.
The console will also feature 3.5mm headphone jack and a USB Type-C port on the top, which would allow it to be charged while in table-top mode. The top will also have a power button, volume rocker, and game card clot.
A number of other potential leaks have also been growing in recent months. Video game retailer GameStop appears to have added a number of accessory SKUs for the Nintendo Switch 2 into its system. Images of the new Joy-Cons, the design, the logo, and more have also been spotted.
Nintendo has yet to officially announced the Nintendo Switch 2, however, the company will unveil it by the end of March. Nintendo has confirmed it will be backwards compatible with the original Switch.

Do you guys think that the Swich 2 will be able to keep pace with the original Switch? I frankly don't. I think it will be a great product but it doesn't offer anything that looks too different. It has the same gimmick: The Joy Cons. it will be more powerful and personally I look forward to getting one to replace my Switch but I don't see this doing nearly as well as the Switch.
It probably won't be as successful as the Switch, but I'm sure it'll do just fine.
75% would be close to or about 120 million, which is what I'm expecting for Switch 2. There's bound to be some people who would still be content with a Switch 1 and also taking into account the covid bump that hopefully the Switch 2 won't have (considering all the bad things it meant for the world).
NSW2 will def have the benefit of starting off stronger than NSW being that [i] NSW was competing with 3DS til 2019, [ii] Nintendo was not as popular a brand in 2017-2019 comp to now, and [iii] 3rd-party devs weren't too eager to support NSW til early-2019.
Whether NSW2 will maintain its lead over NSW during COVID years? Whether NSW2 will have comparable legs to NSW? Impossible to say given current knowledge.
Not terribly surprising but why fix what isn't broken?
They struck gold with the Switch concept. As long as the games look good while they run fine, the joycons fail less and online services improve, it could be one hell of an enternainment device.
You are right, but, all those 3 things you mentioned, are not so easily achieved. PS5/XBSX still struggle to deliver games looking good without FPSs dips. Dualsense and Joycons are still having drift issues. PS5/NS cant keep a good and reliable online service. So yeah, if they manage to fix those things on NS2, will be a no brainer.
I miss the days when portable gaming systems could actually fit in your pocket.
I mean it looks exactly like everyone was expecting...
But I think people really are forgetting how big this thing is. It's using the same screen as the PS Portal which is much larger (and clear) in the hands than the Switch OLED.
If it's just basically straight copy paste and added more "powah" I don't think it will sell as good as original switch
I really hope that isn't true about the screen size. The Switch screens are plenty big enough. An 8.4 inch screen size, if it turns out to be true, makes it seem like Nintendo is going to make the Steam Deck mistake, of making a handheld system that really isn't that portable because it's too big. Hopefully they stick to the OLED's 7 inch screen size.
They need to keep it portable and affordable.
It will be 8inches and not OLED. At the point where you need a backpack, I don't think there is much difference in size personally
That is a big handheld, about 1.2 inches wider and about 0.6 inch taller than the Switch 1. May wait on a Lite model to save money and have more portability.
Yeah. They are really pushing the bounds of portability.
Wow, very believable.
More leaks?
Public urination is a real crisis.
Fake. Just confirmed by Nintendo. If i where them i would just delay it another year just to piss them off
