The Spanish publication Vandal, which has already anticipated rumors about the world in the past Nintendo later proved to be correct, he makes it known that Switch 2 presenter of the Joy-Conor gamepads detachable from the main console body, connectable via magnets. Currently, however, Switch uses a physical sled attachment system.
It may seem like a minor change, but it isn’t. In fact, this change would make it difficult to connect the Joy-Cons of the first Switch to the second generation of the Nintendo console, limiting compatibility to the connection via Bluetooth. If the compatibility of the new console with existing interfacing systems is uncertain in the case of Joy-Con, according to Vandal the current Switch Pro controller will be compatible with Nintendo Switch 2.
Switch 2, moreover, would be slightly larger of the console that preceded it (but not as large as the Steam Deck) and this would affect the Joy-Con themselves, which would necessarily be larger than the first generation. Previous rumors have anticipated that the screen will be 8 inches, LCD and not OLED (as was the case with the review of the first Switch).
Second previous rumors, the SoC of the next Switch will be called NVIDIA T239 and will be a derivative of the current T234 used in the automotive sector. In the center 8 ARM cores and an Ampere GPU, and one computing capacity comparable to that of PS5 and Xbox Series with support to Ray Tracing.
