The long-awaited unveiling of the next generation Nintendo Switch has yet to occur, despite fans diligently searching for any clues. Recently, however, a quickly removed video from accessory maker Satisfye may have provided an early, albeit blurry, glimpse of what the new console could look like.
The information surfaced on X when @1DaP_PaD1 (DP19) revealed that Satisfye had uploaded a trailer for their Zengrip 2 accessory but promptly removed it upon realizing an error. While the trailer has been taken down, screenshots suggest that the upcoming Nintendo console bears a striking resemblance to the existing Switch model.

Some observant fans have reported noticing an “extra button” on the Joy-Cons, aligning with previous leaks. However, the details remain unclear due to the considerable blurriness of the image. With Nintendo being tight-lipped about its upcoming console, it’s difficult to ascertain any specifics about its design. Moreover, this image is said to have been taken while using a third-party accessory, further obscuring the details.
Satisfye’s website lists the ZenGrip 2 with an announcement to “expect shipping in Spring 2025.” This doesn’t guarantee that the Nintendo Switch 2 will launch at the same time, but we can anticipate an official announcement by the end of Nintendo’s current fiscal year, which concludes in March 2025. Historically, Nintendo has kept a close lid on hardware details, yet the buzz surrounding the Nintendo Switch 2 continues to mount, with fans eager for more information.
