Check out 3D renders of the Nintendo Switch 2’s console, dock, and Joy-Cons, created based on leaked design details.
Nintendo fans, the wait might finally be coming to an end. Over the past year, rumors about the Nintendo Switch 2 have been ramping up, with leaks, insider teases, and speculation keeping the excitement alive.
Nintendo itself confirmed plans to reveal the next console before March 2025, but recent chatter suggests we might not have to wait that long. Insiders and analysts alike are hinting at an early January 2025 reveal, and the leaks keep adding fuel to the fire.
Just this week, new design leaks made headlines, and now, thanks to a fan’s creative efforts, we might have our clearest look yet at what the Nintendo Switch 2 could look like. The hype is real, and it’s only getting louder.
A First Full Look at the Nintendo Switch 2?
Following a string of leaks about the next-gen console, an X (Twitter) user Elymar_Tj, shared 3D renders based on the recently surfaced design details. Using the leaked descriptions as a guide, they created high-quality images that showcase what the Nintendo Switch 2’s console, dock, and Joy-Cons might look like if the rumors are accurate.
The 3D renders reveal a console with sleek, modernized features. The Joy-Cons have a magnetic attachment system, a departure from the slide-in mechanism of the current Switch. There’s also a robust U-shaped kickstand that seems to promise better stability for tabletop gaming—a much-needed improvement over the flimsy original design.

The dock, meanwhile, has a more minimalist, futuristic look, but its specific functionality remains a mystery. If the leaks are legitimate, this is probably the most detailed and accurate preview of the Switch 2 we’ve seen so far. But, of course, until Nintendo confirms anything, it’s all speculation.
Beyond the design leaks, the rumor mill has been busy. Insiders suggest that the Switch 2 will be powerful enough to run modern AAA games, which would be a huge step forward for Nintendo.
Reports also point to an early January 2025 announcement date, with multiple sources lining up behind this timeframe.
