A new report from Spanish website Vandal has potentially revealed new details on the Nintendo Switch 2. The site spoke with accessory manufacturers who have been able to touch the new console.

The successor to the Switch will reportedly have Joy-Cons similar to the Switch, however, the website claims the Joy-Cons will connect to the screen using magnetic strips. This does mean the current Joy-Cons are unlikely to work on the new console.

The report does state the Nintendo Switch Pro Controller will be able to work on the Switch 2.

Vandal reports the accessory manufacturers said the Switch 2 is ready for launch, however, Nintendo is waiting to have a stronger lineup of games for launch and it won’t launch until 2025.

Previous reports stated the Switch 2 won’t launch until March 2025.
