Recently, rumors about the Nintendo Switch 2 have started to take shape, and if there is one thing for sure, it is that the official presentation of the new hybrid console could take place this year. A recent report has brought new details that are worth considering, as the Switch remains an extremely interesting option for mobile gaming outside of smartphones.
The presentation this summer? According to the mentioned sources, Nintendo could reveal the Switch 2 for the first time during the summer of this year. It would not be unusual for the manufacturer to provide a detailed look at the new console long before the actual launch, which is estimated to take place only in 2025. It is even rumored that we could have a concrete date for the presentation in the month of June 2024, although there is no official confirmation of this yet.
Magnetically attachable Joy-Cons and a bigger screen
A major change is announced regarding the Joy-Con controllers, which on the current generation of Switch are attached to the body of the console through a somewhat awkward mechanism. According to Spanish sources cited, the plan for the new generation would be for the Joy-Cons to attach magnetically, a much more elegant and user-friendly solution.
Another interesting detail is that Nintendo would slightly increase the dimensions of the Switch 2. The current generation was already quite compact, especially in terms of screen size, so an increase in diagonal would be welcome for an improved gaming and viewing experience .
High expectations for the console of the future
With the Switch performing exceptionally well in the gaming console market, expectations for its successor are high. Nintendo needs to strike a balance between portability, processing power and autonomy to deliver an uncompromising gaming experience, both in handheld mode and when connected to a TV.
Although concrete details about the technical specifications of the Switch 2 are lacking for now, fans and the video game industry are eagerly awaiting the new iteration of the hybrid console that won their hearts. It remains to be seen whether Nintendo will be able to repeat the success of ingeniously merging the mobile world with the world of traditional game consoles.
