Leaks about the Nintendo Switch 2 have been surfacing everywhere for weeks now with more big news dropping this morning. OnLeaks, in collaboration with 91mobiles, shared a 360-degree render of the Nintendo Switch 2, telling us the following:

This isn't the only news we've gotten lately:

The Switch 2 appears to be a more powerful, slightly larger version of the original Switch, and I’m totally fine with that. I was a bit worried Nintendo might throw a curveball, as they often do, and we’d end up with something wild like a new Power Glove with a screen in the palm. It's really strange for Nintendo to keep the exact same appearance for a follow-up console - even the Wii U, despite sharing a similar name, looked completely different from the Wii.

I have no doubt that this successor will be a massive success like its predecessor, which is now the third best-selling console of all time with 146 million units sold. I’m not sure what Nintendo is waiting for, but hopefully, a Nintendo Direct is around the corner so we can finally see the real thing. Also, Nintendo, please let me play Splatoon 3 at 120 FPS. Thanks in advance!
