Nintendo Switch 2 tease leaves fans divided

Please, just reveal the Switch 2

The Nintendo Switch 2 hasn't been fully revealed yet, but that's not stopped the rumour mill from spinning.

In typical Nintendo fashion, the Japanese giant first announced the successor to the Switch on a random weekday morning via a tweet.

That was some time ago so many fans hoped that the Nintendo Switch 2 would've been totally unveiled by now but there seems to be no indication of that happening anytime soon.

Details of the Nintendo Switch 2 seemingly leaked online several weeks ago, following an unfortunate data breach at Pokémon developer Game Freak.

However, nothing has been officially confirmed by Nintendo, so we should take all rumours and leaks with a pinch of salt until proven otherwise.

One tidbit that has been proved to be true is the fact that the Nintendo Switch 2 (which isn't its confirmed name) will be backwards compatible, likely with current-gen games.

In addition to that, a recent rumour shared by Twitter user NWeedle claims the upcoming console will have a performance selector that will prioritise battery or quality, depending on whether you are gaming docked or handheld.

The source of information is said to have come from someone who has worked with the Nintendo Switch successor development kit.

What’s more, it’s claimed that rather than games having performance or graphics options similar to PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X, Nintendo instead wants the options to be simplified directly from the console.

“I only trust rumours from Kakuna, not Weedle,” joked MuptonBossman.

“I can see it applied for retro-compatible games. Battery mode for handheld and Quality mode for docked,” added N3WG4M3PLVS.

“This could just as likely be something in the development version of the console to allow developers to easily switch modes, not necessarily a feature that the Switch 2 will have,” suggested MumGoesToCollege.

Hopefully, Nintendo will reveal all in the coming months regarding the Switch successor to put us all out of our misery once and for all.

When that happens, we’ll be sure to update you right away.
