Nintendo Switch 2 leaks point to more of the same – but I hope I'm wrong


More of the same sounds like a winner for the Nintendo Switch 2, but a lot has changed since 2017

And while we’ll have to wait for official confirmation from Nintendo to see if the leaks turn out to be real, all signs point to a console that follows the same design blueprint but is larger and more powerful. I don’t think portable versions of games we’ve already seen, running at lower frame rate and resolution, are enough of a selling point this time around. If Microsoft releases an Xbox handheld and Sony follows suit with a PSP 2, then suddenly Nintendo will find itself with a console that’s still home to its fantastic IP, but will hardly be unique anymore.
