But new leaks from case manufacturers appear to reveal exactly what the Nintendo\u2019s next console could look like, and a few notable upgrades it might have over the original Switch.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"duet--article--article-body-component\">\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph mb-20 font-fkroman text-18 leading-160 -tracking-1 selection:bg-franklin-20 dark:text-white dark:selection:bg-blurple [&amp;_a:hover]:shadow-highlight-franklin dark:[&amp;_a:hover]:shadow-highlight-blurple [&amp;_a]:shadow-underline-black dark:[&amp;_a]:shadow-underline-white\">We were inspired to write this article in the first place because of Dbrand\u2019s just-announced \u201cKillswitch 2\u201d case. <a href=\"https:\/\/go.skimresources.com\/?id=1025X1701640&amp;xs=1&amp;url=https%3A%2F%2Fdbrand.com%2Fshop%2Fgrip%2Fnintendo-switch-2-cases\">The website for the product<\/a> features an in-motion render of the case and, inside, a mockup of hardware that has some key differences from the Switch and Switch OLED: the new console appears to be larger, and it has a mysterious new second button on the right Joy-Con under the Home button.

He says Dbrand has \u201cactual dimensions\u201d \u2014 not an educated guess \u2014 based on a \u201c3D scan of the real hardware.\u201d (When we asked how he knows that, Ijaz only said \u201cNice try, Nintendo<em>.<\/em>\u201d)<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"duet--article--article-body-component clear-both block\">\n<div class=\"my-9\">\n<p><figcaption class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup inline text-gray-13 dark:text-gray-e9 [&amp;&gt;a:hover]:text-black [&amp;&gt;a:hover]:shadow-underline-black dark:[&amp;&gt;a:hover]:text-gray-e9 dark:[&amp;&gt;a:hover]:shadow-underline-gray-63 [&amp;&gt;a]:shadow-underline-gray-13 dark:[&amp;&gt;a]:shadow-underline-gray-63\"><em>Here\u2019s a GIF we cut of the new case from Dbrand\u2019s video.<\/em><\/figcaption><cite class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup inline not-italic text-gray-63 dark:text-gray-bd [&amp;&gt;a:hover]:text-gray-63 [&amp;&gt;a:hover]:shadow-underline-black dark:[&amp;&gt;a:hover]:text-gray-bd dark:[&amp;&gt;a:hover]:shadow-underline-gray [&amp;&gt;a]:shadow-underline-gray-63 dark:[&amp;&gt;a]:text-gray-bd dark:[&amp;&gt;a]:shadow-underline-gray\">Video: Dbrand<\/cite><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"duet--article--article-body-component\">\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph mb-20 font-fkroman text-18 leading-160 -tracking-1 selection:bg-franklin-20 dark:text-white dark:selection:bg-blurple [&amp;_a:hover]:shadow-highlight-franklin dark:[&amp;_a:hover]:shadow-highlight-blurple [&amp;_a]:shadow-underline-black dark:[&amp;_a]:shadow-underline-white\">Based on Dbrand\u2019s measurements, the next Switch (which we\u2019ll call the Switch 2) will both be larger and taller than Nintendo\u2019s Switch OLED, but roughly the same thickness. <a href=\"https:\/\/go.skimresources.com\/?id=1025X1701640&amp;xs=1&amp;url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.nintendo.com%2Fmy%2Fhardware%2Fswitch%2Fmodal%2Fspecs%2Fbody_oled.html\">Nintendo\u2019s spec sheet<\/a> shows its previous handheld is 242mm wide, 102mm tall and 13.9mm thick, where Ijaz says the Switch 2 should measure 270mm wide, 116mm tall, and 14mm thick, with the console portion taking up 200mm worth of that width. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"duet--article--article-body-component\">\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph mb-20 font-fkroman text-18 leading-160 -tracking-1 selection:bg-franklin-20 dark:text-white dark:selection:bg-blurple [&amp;_a:hover]:shadow-highlight-franklin dark:[&amp;_a:hover]:shadow-highlight-blurple [&amp;_a]:shadow-underline-black dark:[&amp;_a]:shadow-underline-white\">Ijaz also says the kickstand will still measure around half the console\u2019s height at around 55mm; a diagonal measurement of the cover glass supports previous rumors that it\u2019ll have an 8-inch screen. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"duet--article--article-body-component\">\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph mb-20 font-fkroman text-18 leading-160 -tracking-1 selection:bg-franklin-20 dark:text-white dark:selection:bg-blurple [&amp;_a:hover]:shadow-highlight-franklin dark:[&amp;_a:hover]:shadow-highlight-blurple [&amp;_a]:shadow-underline-black dark:[&amp;_a]:shadow-underline-white\">Ijaz says it\u2019s his \u201cunderstanding\u201d that Joy-Cons are \u201cmagnetically attached\u201d with an \u201can ejection button\u201d that\u2019s on the back of the Joy-Cons near the top, and his new case takes advantage of the detachable controllers \u2014 he says the controller portions of Dbrand\u2019s case can detach with them inside.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"duet--article--article-body-component\">\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph mb-20 font-fkroman text-18 leading-160 -tracking-1 selection:bg-franklin-20 dark:text-white dark:selection:bg-blurple [&amp;_a:hover]:shadow-highlight-franklin dark:[&amp;_a:hover]:shadow-highlight-blurple [&amp;_a]:shadow-underline-black dark:[&amp;_a]:shadow-underline-white\">He doesn\u2019t know what the second square button is under the Home button, which he says has a \u201cC\u201d printed on it. The left Joy-Con in Dbrand\u2019s mockup still has a button on the left Joy-Con, which is where you\u2019ll find the capture button on the original Switch, so it\u2019s unclear if this \u201cC\u201d button now means capture or if both buttons work differently. (Nintendo originally introduced C-buttons on the Nintendo 64 controller in 1996 as a way to control a game\u2019s camera, before gamepads introduced a second stick to let you shift perspective.) <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"duet--article--article-body-component\">\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph mb-20 font-fkroman text-18 leading-160 -tracking-1 selection:bg-franklin-20 dark:text-white dark:selection:bg-blurple [&amp;_a:hover]:shadow-highlight-franklin dark:[&amp;_a:hover]:shadow-highlight-blurple [&amp;_a]:shadow-underline-black dark:[&amp;_a]:shadow-underline-white\">Ijaz says the joysticks stand 6.27mm tall, and the D-pad and ABXY buttons protrude by 1.57mm, with a 180mm wide kickstand, and back triggers that extend 9.1mm.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"duet--article--article-body-component\">\n<div class=\"transition-all duration-300 ease-in-out\">\n<div role=\"button\" aria-label=\"Zoom\" tabindex=\"0\" class=\"visible z-30 w-full origin-center transition-all duration-300 ease-in-out cursor-zoom-in\">\n<section tabindex=\"-1\" aria-label=\"Dbrand Killswitch 2 case for Switch 2 carousel\" class=\"duet--article--gallery relative overflow-hidden outline-none my-40 md:ml-0 md:w-full\">\n<div class=\"leading-100 sm:px-0\">\n<p class=\"mr-8 inline pt-6 font-polysans-mono text-12 font-medium tracking-1 dark:text-gray-bd\">1<!-- -->\/<!-- -->5<\/p>\n<p><figcaption class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup inline text-gray-13 dark:text-gray-e9 [&amp;&gt;a:hover]:text-black [&amp;&gt;a:hover]:shadow-underline-black dark:[&amp;&gt;a:hover]:text-gray-e9 dark:[&amp;&gt;a:hover]:shadow-underline-gray-63 [&amp;&gt;a]:shadow-underline-gray-13 dark:[&amp;&gt;a]:shadow-underline-gray-63\"><em>Since the controller parts of the Killswitch 2 are detachable, this version uses a teal bungee cord, rather than a form-fitting design, to secure its protective travel cover.<\/em><\/figcaption><cite class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup inline not-italic text-gray-63 dark:text-gray-bd [&amp;&gt;a:hover]:text-gray-63 [&amp;&gt;a:hover]:shadow-underline-black dark:[&amp;&gt;a:hover]:text-gray-bd dark:[&amp;&gt;a:hover]:shadow-underline-gray [&amp;&gt;a]:shadow-underline-gray-63 dark:[&amp;&gt;a]:text-gray-bd dark:[&amp;&gt;a]:shadow-underline-gray\">Image: Dbrand<\/cite><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"z-1 w-full hidden\">\n<section tabindex=\"-1\" aria-label=\"Dbrand Killswitch 2 case for Switch 2 carousel\" class=\"duet--article--gallery relative overflow-hidden outline-none my-40 md:ml-0 md:w-full\">\n<div class=\"leading-100 sm:px-0\">\n<p class=\"mr-8 inline pt-6 font-polysans-mono text-12 font-medium tracking-1 dark:text-gray-bd\">1<!-- -->\/<!-- -->5<\/p>\n<p><figcaption class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup inline text-gray-13 dark:text-gray-e9 [&amp;&gt;a:hover]:text-black [&amp;&gt;a:hover]:shadow-underline-black dark:[&amp;&gt;a:hover]:text-gray-e9 dark:[&amp;&gt;a:hover]:shadow-underline-gray-63 [&amp;&gt;a]:shadow-underline-gray-13 dark:[&amp;&gt;a]:shadow-underline-gray-63\"><em>Since the controller parts of the Killswitch 2 are detachable, this version uses a teal bungee cord, rather than a form-fitting design, to secure its protective travel cover.<\/em><\/figcaption><cite class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup inline not-italic text-gray-63 dark:text-gray-bd [&amp;&gt;a:hover]:text-gray-63 [&amp;&gt;a:hover]:shadow-underline-black dark:[&amp;&gt;a:hover]:text-gray-bd dark:[&amp;&gt;a:hover]:shadow-underline-gray [&amp;&gt;a]:shadow-underline-gray-63 dark:[&amp;&gt;a]:text-gray-bd dark:[&amp;&gt;a]:shadow-underline-gray\">Image: Dbrand<\/cite><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"duet--article--article-body-component\">\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph mb-20 font-fkroman text-18 leading-160 -tracking-1 selection:bg-franklin-20 dark:text-white dark:selection:bg-blurple [&amp;_a:hover]:shadow-highlight-franklin dark:[&amp;_a:hover]:shadow-highlight-blurple [&amp;_a]:shadow-underline-black dark:[&amp;_a]:shadow-underline-white\">While Dbrand does seem to know a lot about the console, Ijaz is \u201cgenuinely unsure\u201d about its potential release date. He says that Dbrand is working toward a late March or early April release for its case, though. Ijaz also doesn\u2019t know about Nintendo\u2019s possible TV dock for the Switch 2, but says that Dbrand\u2019s assumption is that \u201cthe form factor will be similar to the previous gen.\u201d He doesn\u2019t know if the screen will be LCD or OLED.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"duet--article--article-body-component\">\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph mb-20 font-fkroman text-18 leading-160 -tracking-1 selection:bg-franklin-20 dark:text-white dark:selection:bg-blurple [&amp;_a:hover]:shadow-highlight-franklin dark:[&amp;_a:hover]:shadow-highlight-blurple [&amp;_a]:shadow-underline-black dark:[&amp;_a]:shadow-underline-white\">While it\u2019s highly unusual for an accessory maker to publicly reveal this much about a product from a powerful, litigious company like Nintendo, it\u2019s not surprising that Dbrand\u2019s the one stepping up to the plate. Having beef with console makers is an intentional (and often fun!) part of its marketing strategy, and Nintendo is a frequent target \u2014 like that <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theverge.com\/23713293\/dbrand-zelda-tears-of-the-kingdom-nintendo-switch-skin\">Zelda skin that was a middle finger to Nintendo\u2019s lawyers<\/a>, or the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theverge.com\/2020\/4\/22\/21231434\/animal-crossing-switch-skin-nintendo-dbrand-copyright-price-design\">\u201c(not) Animal Crossing\u201d<\/a> one. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"duet--article--article-body-component\">\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph mb-20 font-fkroman text-18 leading-160 -tracking-1 selection:bg-franklin-20 dark:text-white dark:selection:bg-blurple [&amp;_a:hover]:shadow-highlight-franklin dark:[&amp;_a:hover]:shadow-highlight-blurple [&amp;_a]:shadow-underline-black dark:[&amp;_a]:shadow-underline-white\">Much of what Dbrand is showing and what Ijaz is saying lines up with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=Nacn4yqUY1s\">a video from SwitchUp<\/a> showing what it calls a Switch 2 mockup sent to them by a case manufacturer. That mockup is clearly larger than today\u2019s existing Switch OLED, and the new Joy-Cons are clearly bigger than the old Joy-Cons. You can also see the second square button under the home button there, the larger button under the triggers that presumably ejects them from the console, and a wide kickstand similar to the one on the Switch OLED.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"duet--article--article-body-component\">\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph mb-20 font-fkroman text-18 leading-160 -tracking-1 selection:bg-franklin-20 dark:text-white dark:selection:bg-blurple [&amp;_a:hover]:shadow-highlight-franklin dark:[&amp;_a:hover]:shadow-highlight-blurple [&amp;_a]:shadow-underline-black dark:[&amp;_a]:shadow-underline-white\">One other nice addition? A second USB-C port on the top of the mockup, which theoretically means you\u2019ll be able to plug in a charging cable while you\u2019re using it in tabletop mode; with the current Switch, the charging port on the bottom is blocked when you\u2019re standing it up on a table.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"duet--article--article-body-component\">\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph mb-20 font-fkroman text-18 leading-160 -tracking-1 selection:bg-franklin-20 dark:text-white dark:selection:bg-blurple [&amp;_a:hover]:shadow-highlight-franklin dark:[&amp;_a:hover]:shadow-highlight-blurple [&amp;_a]:shadow-underline-black dark:[&amp;_a]:shadow-underline-white\">While we\u2019re still waiting for Nintendo to actually announce concrete details about the Switch 2, the company has shared that the console will be able to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theverge.com\/2024\/11\/5\/24284745\/switch-2-backward-compatibility-nintendo-online-preservation\">play current Switch games<\/a> and it will have Nintendo Switch Online as well.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"duet--article--article-body-component\">\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph mb-20 font-fkroman text-18 leading-160 -tracking-1 selection:bg-franklin-20 dark:text-white dark:selection:bg-blurple [&amp;_a:hover]:shadow-highlight-franklin dark:[&amp;_a:hover]:shadow-highlight-blurple [&amp;_a]:shadow-underline-black dark:[&amp;_a]:shadow-underline-white\"><em><strong>Correction, December 13th: <\/strong>Ijaz says he measured the Switch 2 triggers wrong; they extend 9.1mm, not 14.1mm. <\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js?client=ca-pub-3711241968723425\"\r\n     crossorigin=\"anonymous\"><\/script>\r\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\"\r\n     style=\"display:block\"\r\n     data-ad-format=\"fluid\"\r\n     data-ad-layout-key=\"-fb+5w+4e-db+86\"\r\n     data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-3711241968723425\"\r\n     data-ad-slot=\"7910942971\"><\/ins>\r\n<script>\r\n     (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\r\n<\/script><br \/>\n<br \/><div data-type=\"_mgwidget\" data-widget-id=\"1660802\">\r\n<\/div>\r\n<script>(function(w,q){w[q]=w[q]||[];w[q].push([\"_mgc.load\"])})(window,\"_mgq\");\r\n<\/script>\r\n<br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.theverge.com\/2024\/12\/13\/24320659\/nintendo-switch-2-dbrand-killswitch\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Nintendo is inching ever closer to its promised deadline to reveal the Switch\u2019s successor before April 2025.
