Rumors have long swirled about theNintendo Switch 2, Nintendo’s highly anticipated follow-up to theNintendo Switch.
That’s why we’ve rounded up the biggest rumored upgrades headed for Nintendos next-gen console.
Based on the case, the Switch 2 measures in at 270 x 116 x 14mm.
Nintendo also seems to have added a second USB-C port on top of the console.
In theory, that could indicate the Switch sequel supports asecond screenof some kind.
The same goes for the Switch 2’s rumored capability of supporting 4K gaming while docked.
Thankfully, Nintendo seems primed to get ahead of that problem with its next console.
The Mario maker announced at its November investor briefing thatits Switch successor will be backward compatiblewith existing Switch software.
When the Switch launched, it didn’t support Wii U games for obvious reasons.
Revamped magnetic Joy-Cons
Nintendo’s console makeover extends to the Joy-Con controllers themselves too, it seems.
This would be a significant change from the rail system used on the first-generation Switch.
The downside with that is it likely means the Joy-Cons wouldn’t be compatible with the Switch 2.
Given how expensive back-up Joy-Cons can be, that would be a disappointing development.
And there’s no word on how that would impact certain Switch accessories like theRing Fit Adventureand external controllers.
So, it’s been more than a decade since we got a properly new Mario Kart.
