After a flooding of Nintendo Switch over 2 leaks to liquidate 2024, we are learning much more regarding the unannounced console in the very first two weeks of January. Days after a Nintendo license potentially revealed how 4 K games will be made possible on the Switch 2, a leakage from China has offered us our best appearance yet at the next-gen Joy-Con controllers.
As you can distinguish the images listed below (initial shared on Reddit), the brand-new Joy-Con looks comparable to all the leakages and mockups we have actually seen in current weeks. The controller itself is matte black, while the magnetic rail that will certainly attach to the Switch 2 is intense blue.
Contrasting this to an initial Joy-Con controller, the SL and SR buttons are significantly larger, which might make this upgrade even more usable as a day-to-day motorist. It’s additionally a little bit bigger total to match the raised dimension of the Switch over 2 over its predecessor.
However the size and color design of the new Joy-Con isn’t the genuine tale here.
As many individuals noticed, there appears to be an optical sensing unit simply to the right of the SL button. We have no concept what that sensing unit would certainly be used for (or if this controller is even legitimate), however if the updated Joy-Con does include an optical sensor, it could theoretically function as a computer mouse. There’s precedent for this, also, as Nintendo Life notes. The Lenovo Legion Go has removable gamepads that can be used like a mouse for a lot more specific control.
Right here’s what it may look like, as demonstrated by Universo Nintendo’s Felipe Lima:
This additionally associate the Reddit leakage from u/NextHandheld last month. At the time, he declared that there would certainly be “a surprise function” in addition to the Joy-Con when detached from the console. When inquired about the shock, he said: “Think lasers.”
