, saying it’s likely that most, if not all Xbox games, will launch on Switch 2 if the console is able to run them well enough.

We can make some informed speculation ourselves about what to expect on Switch 2. It seems likely that games Nintendo has announced as coming to the Switch this year and beyond will also make their way to the Switch 2.

Switch 2 leaks have come thick and fast in recent weeks, with CES 2025 featuring a high-profile mockup from accessories maker Genki that

While Genki's mockup did appear to add significant weight to a growing pool of past leaks on what the Switch 2 will be, Nintendo has yet to officially reveal anything about the system, and all these claims are subject to change or total debunking. A formal announcement is

appeared online earlier this month. The images, which show a left Joy-****, were reportedly first posted to a ******** social media website before they made their way to the Nintendo Switch 2 subreddit and western social media.

They include larger SL and SR buttons than on the Nintendo Switch Joy-****, which you’d expect given the Nintendo Switch 2 is reportedly a ******* console than the original. These new Joy-**** allegedly ditch the railed lock method used by the current Switch in favor of electromagnetic suction controllers.

but with a larger screen and magnetic Joy-****. There is reportedly a USB-C port on the top and bottom of the console, too.

Accompanying the images was an alleged specifications list that mentioned 12GB of RAM (the original Switch has 4GB), and 256GB of internal storage (the original Switch has 32GB). There’s a new "C" button on the right Joy-****, allegedly, but no-one seems to know what this is for.
