Nintendo Switch 2 rumors have been popping up online for years now. But this time they come from a source that correctly reported some of the features of the Switch OLED 2021. Spanish publication Vandal claims to have new information about Nintendo's upcoming handheld. The details reportedly come from accessory makers who were able to handle a prototype device with its design hidden to determine its size and shape.

RUMOR: Switch 2 Has Magnetic Joy Cons?! 🧲 + Pro Controller BC & 2024 still possible?

According to Vandal's report, the Switch 2 will be bigger than its predecessor but not as big as the Steam Deck. The design of the console will also change due to the introduction of the new Joy-Con controllers. According to the reports, the new controllers will be attached to the console using a magnetic system.

But this also means that the current rail system on the console will not be added to the new design. This further speculates that the old Joy-Con controllers may not be compatible with the new magnetic system. The report also claims that the current Pro Controller will be compatible with the Switch 2.

While there are many conflicting reports about the Nintendo Switch 2 release date, this report sheds light on that as well. According to the report, the next generation console for the Nintendo Switch will be released in early 2025. This may be consistent with the early reports that the Nintendo Switch 2 release is delayed.
