It looks like a cross eyed, grinning sandwich.

 

[TrebleShot]

Wow looks like ass lol

 

[Jack Videogames]

Can the "leaker" use the ai image creator? I think a 5yrs old can draw better then that.

This is the best I got from ChatGPT before asking for more changes got it to have an aneursym

 

[Daniel_Mallorca1985]

Lmao at this thread.



That actually looks awesome. It would look very good next to my PS5.

The hardware of the Switch 2 won’t be interesting. The dock won’t be interesting. The only thing that will make Switch 2 appealing will be amazing Nintendo games like the imminent next 3D Mario, since that studio hasn’t put out a full game since October 2017 (yes, I’m aware of the side game, Bowser’s Fury). And amazing new features, like if they did Game sharing/ drop-in online co-op via streaming, or fixed their netcode and used dedicated servers for all their online products.

Even with tempered expectations, they're going to disappoint.

 

[Dr. Wilkinson]

Depends on what you are looking for.

If NSO launches a GameCube app and Smash Melee is on it with online, that would be really compelling for a few million diehards.

But who really knows what this Online playtest is

 

[chromhound]

Look like the leaked box picture that was leaked a couple of weeks ago. But people said it was fake

 

[Dr. Wilkinson]

it isn’t just Nintendo games that should make it appealing.
The device should be more powerful than a Steamdeck and thus allow for portable versions of current gen games. That’s where a significant portion of the appeal comes from.

They’ll be pushing for much more third party support than with the Switch

Yeah, my point is that the technical specs of the hardware won’t be interesting and won’t blow anyone’s socks offs. Nintendo’s always been clear since the DS/Wii days that that’s not a high priority for them, and not what they view as a selling point.

Of course they’ll be much better than Switch, because it’ll have been eight years. But beyond that it won’t be very interesting.

Switch 2 will be interesting because of it’s new, unique software and because of any new feature gimmicks they come up with.

I like the design of the stand. Seems to be way way better if it functions like it does in that sketch.

 

[Shin-Ra]

TIL Switch has similarly fucktarded paid-online-only quick save copying like PS5. Actually it’s worse because you can’t even do a slow, permanent offline SD card backup of everything, it’s either paid-online or Switch-to-Switch (deleting from original Switch) transfer.

Very few players seem bothered or roused enough to demand these basic features get reinstated from previous generations so online enshitification’s just going to get worse.

We're in the endgame now. Love a good sketch leak brings back memories of the BF trailer being drawn

Desperate Nintendo GAF is best NeoGAF.
We're almost there!

 

[onnextflix5]

This hinge looks worse than the switch oled

Y would they go backwards ? Space ?

If they wanted more space for the internals but still have a decent kickstand, guess that is one way to do it, won’t be as good as the oled kickstand but still better then the original.

 

[sachos]

Now with a larger dock for no particular reason!

Thats were they hide the surprise RTX 3060

There was a box leak? Haven't seen it. Do you have a link/pic?

 

[joshwaan]

 

[SegaSnatcher]

We gotta wait till December for the tease video. Not gonna give us jack before Black Friday.

 

[alucard0712_rus]

was this leaked by a child?

On of those who working on the factory?

 

[Bert Big Balls]

 

[BlackTron]

So this is confirming that the switch2 should be around the power of the Ps5 Pro, right?

Yes, the extra GPU is tucked away in the dock's big butt.

 

[gamer82]

They're gong to make us wait till after Christmas aren't they You really have to be living under a rock to be buying any nintendo console now .

i say this sort of tactic is shady and shouldn't be allowed they have got plenty of money in the bank. i feel bad for the parents that save to buy this then 1 week later.... HI HERES YOU SWITCH 2 !

OUCH heres to 2025 May we be a step closer to preordering

It doesn't delete from the original switch.

Yeah what is this, I haven't seen any box?!

 

[cireza]

Ok I'll admit it, it was my kid playing with paint. He completed the drawing this morning.

 

[Shin-Ra]

This is what Nintendo themselves claim. But maybe it’s changed more recently and they haven’t updated their Support Pages?

How to Transfer Your Save Data To a Nearby Nintendo Switch Console

Important: This feature allows you to move one save data file per game, per user, from one Nintendo Switch family console to another console that is nearby. It does not create a copy of your save data.

Important:​

Once sent, the save data file will be deleted from the source console.

 

[SportsFan581]

You just triggered the serious etchers out there.

 

[thicc_girls_are_teh_best]

all these "insiders" are hilarous

Outside of the Gestridens Discord leak, some of our own ( HeisenbergFX4 , S SneakersSO etc.), and MLID (people clown on him but he did leak PS5 Pro details before anyone else with that die shot and those Rift Apart images), and maybe Shinobi on Twitter/X....I don't trust or listen to almost any of them anymore.

 

[mckmas8808]

Thank you! This is alot better.

These are all we need!

So, same fucking thing

 

[PeteBull]

 

[Robb]

I wouldn’t celebrate too soon, it’s Nintendo after all.. But hopefully!

 

[coffinbirth]

My 2 year old niece can draw better than that. lol


I've also got an image of the factory that makes them!!

Classic communist propaganda right there, as they clearly photoshopped out the suicide nets.

 

[cinnamonandgravy]

I wouldn’t celebrate too soon [that it looks basically the same as the Switch], it’s Nintendo after all.. But hopefully!

always thought the switch dock looked pretty low effort/half-assed

hoping switch2 steps it up a bit.

 

[tylrdiablos]

 

[DeepEnigma]

Was it the same guy who sketched Sonic?

 

[DeceptiveAlarm]

The sketch of the dock looks pretty fat in the back. Extra processing in the dock confirmed. 4k 60fps

 

[deriks]

So today is the investors meet, and they'll probably say "yeah, it's next year". Nothing more I guess

 

[Moses85]

Nintendo won’t be foolish enough to throw away the holiday sales opportunity.

 

[Robb]

Nintendo won’t be foolish enough to throw away the holiday sales opportunity.

I’m curious to hear if they’ll keep their 13.5M Switch estimate. They’ll likely need a pretty great holiday season to reach that.

ETA?

 

[Woopah]

I don't think they have been aggressive enough with pricing or bundling to hit their target, but I don't think they'll lower the forecast until January.

 

[Robb]

Yeah, that’s what I was thinking as well. I guess January might make more sense.

 

[Robb]

Some new CAD renders are floating around that seem to line up with this sketch (U-shaped kickstand) as well as the prior CAD leak:

Grain of salt etc.
