Meanwhile, news has surfaced as to which games could be among the first to receive a Nintendo Switch 2 port when the Japanese company finally releases the as-yet-unannounced (and thus officially unnamed) platform.

A new image of the new Joy-Con controller was shared on the Nintendo Switch 2 subreddit by Reddit user SwordfighAgile3472. It shows the side and back of the controller. Nintendo chose a simple color scheme, but the current Joy-Con is different. The shoulder buttons are bigger on the new model, and it’s true that this is not an official picture, but the details look refined and you can see a serial number… and for that Nintendo will surely pinch the leaker’s ears.

The year has barely begun (today is basically the first regular working day), but that doesn’t stop leakers from revealing more and more about the Nintendo Switch 2 over the holidays, which the Japanese company has until the end of March to unveil anyway, as it’s official that it will happen this fiscal year. We also saw the motherboard a few days ago (we reported on that as well), and it’s also been in the news that one of the patents says that DLSS scaling will be used on the Big N’s new hardware.

In the video embedded below, Doctre 81 reports that a developer who worked on Gotham Knights has WB Montréal’s game on his resume for two previously unannounced platforms. One will be the Nintendo Switch, as the game has already been evaluated for the Japanese company’s platform. The other will most likely be the Nintendo Switch 2. Gotham Knights had a problematic performance on the PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series at launch, which makes a Switch port sound a bit impossible. A Switch 2 port seems logical, and that may be why the Switch version was quietly canceled.

The Nintendo Switch 2 doesn’t even have an official name yet.
