New videos show off larger Nintendo Switch 2, snap-on Joy-Cons

Nintendo is still not ready to officially reveal any details about the Switch 2 (other than brief mention of backwards compatibility in November). But that didn’t stop gaming accessories manufacturer Genki from giving us one of the best looks at the size and shape of upcoming Nintendo hardware, as well as a video of how the console’s new Joy-Cons will attach to the base tablet.

Genki is reportedly using a scale 3D model of the Switch 2 to show off the console’s chassis behind closed doors at the Consumer Electronics Show. A video from French tech site Numerama shows that the 3D model is superior to the original Switch model in both length and width.
