A promotional teaser from a third-party accessory company may have inadvertently given the gaming world its first glimpse of what the Nintendo Switch 2 console could look like. The trailer has since been deleted but unfortunately, the diligent denizens of the internet have already captured screenshots of it.
Rumours about the Nintendo Switch 2 have been swirling around the internet, with pictures and leaks showcasing the console’s alleged shell and design. The trailer, which was from the third-party manufacturer Satisfye, was showcasing its upcoming ZenGrip 2, which is designed for the future handheld.

X user DP19 shared their screenshot of the console, albeit being a bit blurred. “They just show the Nintendo Switch 2 in it like straight up just show it it’s blurred a bit but not much that is our first official Switch 2 look”.
Luckily for us, another X user by the handle WickedRay (@nRAYm2002) shared another screenshot with a much clearer shot of the prime suspect. Again, we’re aware that nothing has been set in stone yet and Nintendo itself is being tight-lipped about its next-generation handheld, and understandably so.

However, it cannot be denied that the shape and look of the alleged Nintendo Switch 2 in the screenshot looks remarkably identical to early renders. You can see that the display is visibly bigger, while the edges of the Joy-cons look a lot more rounded too.
Nintendo is expected to launch the Switch 2 sometime next year. Originally scheduled for a March unveiling, the last rumour on the matter suggests that it has been delayed to within the second quarter of 2025.
