- Potential Nintendo Switch 2 colorways may have leaked
- A new image suggests the console will come in black/orange
- The rumored “C” button is also visible
The good news is we may finally know what colors nintendo switch 2 The bad news is that the potential colorways hinted at by recent leaks are absolutely terrible.
This information comes from well-known leaker “NextHandheld”, who has been sharing images on X/Twitter for the past few weeks purportedly showing the finalized retail version of Nintendo Switch 2. They responded to a user asking whether the Nintendo Switch 2 would come with blue and orange Joy-Con controllers, and posted a Mysterious photo This seems to support this statement.
In the image, we see the long-rumored “C” button, a mysterious new input that has also appeared in other recent leaks. It’s not entirely clear what it does, though some speculate it could be related to new online features or new hardware features on the system’s redesigned Joy-Con controllers.
The bottom of the home button can also be seen at the top of the image, indicating that this is a photo of the correct Joy-Con. Interestingly, these colors are completely different from what we’ve seen on the Nintendo Switch so far. The Joy-Cons themselves are black, but it’s impossible to miss what looks like a bright orange bar on the left side of the controller.
It’s unclear if this is part of the Joy-Con itself, the mechanism by which it connects to the console, or just an accessory. It seems safe to assume that another Joy-Con will feature a reversed version of this color scheme, possibly replacing the orange elements with what the leaker claims are blue elements.
I’m not the biggest fan of this color scheme, as the orange color shown in the leak is very garish and honestly looks like something you’d see on a construction device rather than a gaming console. It’s definitely a downgrade from the original Nintendo Switch’s iconic neon red/neon blue configuration, at least in my opinion.
Luckily, Nintendo does tend to release several different versions of its consoles, so if this leak is accurate, there may be better options when it finally arrives.
