Nintendo Switch 2 Teased with New Features

Recent leaks suggest that Nintendo's next console may be named 'Nintendo Switch 2' and will feature significant upgrades, including magnetic Joy-Cons with Hall-effect joysticks designed to prevent stick drift. A Reddit user, known as NextHandheld, reported having seen and interacted with the new device, which The Verge has corroborated as credible. The Switch 2's dock is expected to have enhanced power capabilities, rated at 60W, compared to the console's 45W, and will offer multiple USB ports and HDMI. Despite the excitement, Nintendo has not officially confirmed the name or specifications, merely stating plans for a reveal by March 2025. Speculative sales projections suggest the Switch 2 could dominate the market, potentially surpassing competitors by 2028, although many fans urge caution against jumping to conclusions based on unverified information. As the anticipation builds, the original Switch continues to achieve sales milestones, becoming the second-best-selling console in US history.
