We have had few leaks of the successor to the Nintendo Switch as notable as the one that the brand new CES that is currently being held in Las Vegas has given us. It was there where they saw each other realistic replicas of the next Nintendo console at the hands of different accessory manufacturers. Many of them make these mock-ups to be able to show your clients and press the characteristics of your next releases.
Genki has been one of these manufacturers that has shown behind closed doors replicas of similar size and weight to the Switch 2, and that has allowed the press that has accessed these presentations to reveal that the new console will be palpably larger in size than its predecessor. . The other big novelty is the Joy-Con, which adheres to and is removed from the screen with a system of magnets, not hooking vertically as was the case with the first Switch.
The French media Numerama has also published a video on their networks where can you see this mock-up and compare with the previous version of the console. There has also been no shortage of rumors surrounding the release date, which speak of April 2025 (rumors that, apparently, began in the presentations of the aforementioned Genki), a date in principle earlier than what had been maintained until now.
If this date is real, or close to what Nintendo has in mind (the possibilities are high: a couple of months before the arrival of summer seems, without a doubt, the best time of the year for a console with the characteristics of Switch 2 ), the truth is that the company has little room left for the announcement. If you want to carry out a marketing campaign worthy of the circumstances, you should announce the console in January or early February and thus publicize both the hardware and what at this point is the biggest and most anticipated surprise for the new console: the launch catalog.
