The nintendo switch 2 It is getting closer, there is no doubt about it. But now, in a totally unexpected turn of events, we have seen the leak of an almost inexplicable patent where we see a potential new portable device from the Japanese company.
Due to the situation at which we find ourselves, with the console ending its life cycle, at the same time that Sony and Microsoft already accumulate a wide lead in terms of hardware and software, as is the case with Marvel’s Spider-Man 2there is a genuine concern to learn more about the urgent successor.
For a few months now, rumors have been circulating more strongly about the imminent launch of the system that is currently popularly known as Nintendo Switch 2.
The latest relatively reliable rumors date back to August 2023 and there was talk that this console would have a screen LCD and not one OLED.
This situation triggered some intense debates, since it would represent a kind of downgrade in relation to the most advanced model that exists today with the device that goes out.
But still, the most disturbing part was the claim that the product would be launched as soon as this coming year 2024.
Now a new piece has emerged in this confusing puzzle that is even more disconcerting than everything we already described.
The Nintendo Switch 2 would have been leaked in a patent but it is quite rare
Recently the people of Eurogamer reported that within the framework of Gamescon 2023, a closed-door meeting was held between Nintendo and the main developers in the industry where what the new Nintendo Switch 2 will be was shown almost secretly and exclusively.
Little has been reported about that meeting, but there is talk that the hardware will be more powerful, without confirming or denying anything about the supposed LCD screen.
The doubts are mounting, but within the framework of all this, a Nintendo patent that was presented at the end of 2022 and published until now has now been leaked.
It is a document that attaches a series of technical drawings illustrating what could well be the essential diagram that describes the shape of the new console:
In the drawings, reported by the brothers at IGN in Spanish, we see how the console would not have the iconic Joy-Con controllers, but with what looks like a stick and a set of four buttons on the opposite side.
We put DALL-E 3’s Artificial Intelligence to work and the platform managed to generate this realistic image that allows us to visualize what this device would look like in real life:
This possible Nintendo Switch 2 looks strange and it is very likely that it is not the long-awaited leak that shows us its final design. But it helps to speculate and heat the ground.
