"While the images are unverified, one source, who has not seen the final ‘ Switch 2’ console but has been briefed on Nintendo’s plans, told VGC that the Reddit images match what the company has told… pic.twitter.com/0zqvUM4SnR

So it really is just a bigger switch. Only difference I spot is that they've doubled down on joycons, adding an L2 or R2 button for when they are held horizontally.

I was going to post about this, but I thought it got marked fake.

But I see it was just a dock image that was marked fake.

Yeah it seems legit. Real pics and a cad file based off the real thing, but not a nintendo made cad file.

yeah, not that i'm familiar with switch but it certainly looks like a "switch 2".

This is the most interesting/plausible Switch 2 leak image - looks like some rough prototype components. Why fake a mainboard? Pay attention to the small size of the battery chamber and keep expectations firmly in check on handheld performance. pic.twitter.com/M3DKSFnt3C

Good point about faking the stuff in this pic. It could be done, but it'd take a lot of work to make it look convincing and fool tech people.

I'm on team real. No CGI trees this time.

Unless it's AI and we all been fooled!!

But I think it's real. The question is here, what will Nintendo claim as their big innovation? Will a switch 2 excite people the same as a switch 1?

I don't understand how people still buy Nintendo so I won't make any predictions about it's success.
