Leadbetter believes the console will indeed have an eight-inch screen, a larger form factor, and new Joy-Con controllers that attach via magnetic rails, as reports previously suggested. “Then there's the fact that everything shown on that board is a match for the latest and most accurate leaks based on Taiwan shipping manifests, accumulated by the ardent sleuths on the Famiboards forum.”
