New Nintendo Switch 2 dock images have reportedly leaked
A known leaker may have provided a closer look at the design of the Switch 2’s dock
Images claiming to show new angles of the Nintendo Switch 2 dock have been published and shared online.
The images in question, which were posted on Famiboards, originate from the same source who leaked computer-aided design renderings of the console last year on Chinese social media platform Xiaohongshu. Those images went on to closely resemble official images released by Nintendo when it announced Switch 2 last month.
The latest set of images include one which may show that the base of the dock is designed to allow for ventilation. Prior to the console’s reveal last month, journalist Laura Kate Dale also published what was claimed to be an image showing the console’s dock.
According to Dale, the Switch 2 will ship with a 60W charger. Furthermore, it’s claimed that the charger for the original Switch will not be powerful enough to power the system while docked. The system may still be chargeable via the previous cable, but it’s likely to be far less efficient.
Nintendo officially announced Switch 2 last month, with a teaser video showing the console and Joy-Cons. The trailer also provided a brief look at a new Mario Kart game running on the Switch 2 hardware.
Nintendo plans to fully reveal the new console on April 2, during a special Switch 2 Nintendo Direct presentation.
Company president Shuntaro Furukawa said this month that the Switch 2 price will take into account numerous factors, including the trademark affordability of the company’s hardware.
He also said Nintendo will put measures in place to prevent resellers from significantly impacting Switch 2 launch supplies.
