Surprise! Another 'Switch 2' Accessory Has Been Revealed

That’s crazy! Has this ever happened? A console completely revealed by accessory makers?

Nintendo really needs to hurry up. Next we’ll start getting info on games exposed by the developers…

There’s more leaks for Switch 2 than Mario and Luigi can handle!

Keep em coming!!😆

Isn’t it kinda nuts that accessory manufacturers are just announcing Switch 2 products left and right that steal thunder from Nintendo, but game publishers and indies are (seemingly) forced to keep their mouths shut over launch window software?

Okay now it really feels like everyone’s just piggybacking off of one design. Who’s to say half of these accessory companies aren’t just making these models based on the last few leaks because they know it will get them attention.

@Hoshiko

I was thinking something similar. People like to assume that everyone's objectives are obvious and intuitive, when in reality people and companies of people have all kinds of motivations. ✌️

I'm starting to not care that much anymore. Let them get their publicity and clicks. When Nintendo finally announces this thing, it'll hopefully still somehow surprise us and these silly companies stealing Nintendo's hype will prove to be inaccurate and be forgotten. Maybe that could be Nintendo's thought process right now?

I am just waiting for Nintendo to finally announce this thing while I am at home in fear of the wildfires coming to where I am.

@RenanKJ I reckon it's Nintendo that's behind the leaks. Theyve given these companies permission to leaks some info to build up hype..And while he dimensions may be correct , the console itself will look quite a bit different to what's been shown.

We need Nintendo to show up with thunderclap like Madame Morrible to clarify the situation.

@RenanKJ yes this is the moment that you live. Talk about me at maximum times is possible

@WaveBoy I’m with you on the sensor bar, that was a missed opportunity with the Switch

This is getting comical now with a nobody grip maker jumping up and down yelling me too. I can't wait for the deep dive someday finding either Nintendo just kicked back and watched the hype build on its own, or they purposefully leaked out through vendors as a new tactic.

Yo if all this is a hoax it'd be NUTS!

It'd be kinda legendary thinking back on the time when everyone followed a fake console design for publicity.

@anoyonmus please stay safe!
My brother is down there too in Redondo Beach. Not fun …

What if this is all a real Switch 2 (I.e. “New” Nintendo Switch like “New” 3DS) but there’s an actual real next gen console coming also that Nintendo will announce. Like this is a real decoy in a way. Legendary.

@Hoshiko I mean, this is kind of how urban legends or collective misbeliefs happen, right? Everyone just assumes things are true when enough people share the same thing. But they really all stem from the same fallacy. Social media makes a lot of money from this. Like those things we've all seen in movies that we expect are true in real life, but they aren't. But movies keep showing them, because everyone just expects that is reality. I'm not sure I explained this well enough.

They has now already "leaked" it so what's the harm? Just RUN that damn thing already, since they has already broken the NDAs!

Just c'on! Show us the goodies right no...

Ummm...
Oh... Well they can't do it... Because it's not real, just a very well dome fake with just shell and nothing inside. Nintendo won't release a new console which looks to 98% similar as the previous one.

This is easily the most tragic attempt of publicity stunt I ever has witnessed with my own eyes in the gaming world since 1987.

Those companies won't be a part of the party when Nintendo's next console launches for real. Mostly of them will dissolve into the oblivion then.

What a farce...

The big accessorie I want is the nexigo grip con. If they make another like the one I have on my old switch I'll be getting one asap

Nintendo might be playing us…

@WaveBoy how about S&P on PSVR2?

Speculation aside, the grip for the OLED is great. Skull and Co are not a 'nobody grip maker', been making good stuff for years.
Still, unless Nintendo are behind this, I'm surprised the companies would risk their future working relationship for a bit of exposure. Also, why are we not hearing of Nintendo issuing cease and desist notices? Not like them to just sit back and watch...

This is probably the only third-party accessory I will get at launch, not counting a MicroSD Express card (which more of a necessity than an accessory). The NeoGrip for my Switch OLED was transformative for me, makes handheld so much more comfortable without making it bulkier. An amazing and super simple design. 100% recommended!

I wonder how Nintendo is feeling about all of these companies revealing their console?

Nintendo, please just reveal Switch 2 at this point...

@WaveBoy where are you reading motion sensor bar ?

It’s on my most wanted features so I can actually play a decent style gun game again…….

Nintendo leaves so much incentive by not announcing for these companies to leak as a way to get eyeballs on their products that we mightn't otherwise pay attention to.

@Keman Keep dreaming mate

Would Nintendo share the Switch 2 design with these companies? Developers with a development kit that would contain the specs make sense, but third party controller extras companies?

I'd imagine that Nintendo would more likely want to sell their own version of these products, wouldn't they?

If these designs are nothing like the Switch 2 actually will be, it would also explain no action by Nintendo.

These all look the same- is this simply a commonly used render or do they have legit consoles to base these renders off of?

Nintendo is enjoying all this free publicity and hype without having to make a single announcement.

There is a rumor from the ppl that guessed right the dates of PS5 and Alamo clock that Nintendo plans to reveal the Switch 2 next Friday 17th.
The console launch date would be 3rd March with MK9 and RDR2 as the launching games.

Of course these are real, there'd be no point manufacturing and selling accesories for imaginary consoles. Nintendo like to play the hype game cooly. Game developers will be NDA'd to the brim so they can make a big splash with the announcement but 3rd party hardware manufacturers are a way to build buzz without really spoiling anything much

@AussieMcBucket Right? One example is how people actually think we only use like 15% of our brain's power because Limitless and Lucy and other films all repeat this, but that's not true at all.
That would be absolutely mindbending if we were all collectively believing something completely made up. I somehow doubt it in this case, as accessory designers always have access to intel we don't (there were third-party cases and grips for switch 1 on launch day) but still a cool thought experiment

@RenanKJ This has been happening for many years.

Just look at Apple for example, where their upcoming phones and other products get leaked months in advance, due to leaks out of the factory/assembly lines and accessory makers.
It's been happening each and every year for god knows how long already.

Yet Apple isn't disturbed by it and sticks to their presentation and release schedules as always.

So why would you expect Nintendo to be disturbed by this and change their reveal and release schedules, because of leaks and rumors?
They will reveal the new console when they are ready and the date they have planned, like they always have.

Though these leaks may be legit (but I doubt it), at this point, Im convinced a lot of the leaks coming out are vendors/people who want to get exposure or clicks.

@Keman You were saying?
