Another point that arouses curiosity: the possible overhaul of the attachment system. There are indications that Nintendo will replace the rails with a sophisticated magnetic mechanism to attach the Joy-Cons to the console. This process would promise a more robust assembly, without the slight lateral play that current Joy-Cons sometimes experience. There is also talk of a “quick unlock” system, which could make it easier to switch from handheld console mode to detached controller mode. This innovation would aim to improve the feeling of solidity and reinforce the longevity of the product. Obviously, nothing is certain yet, but the rumor is becoming more and more insistent.
In addition to these new Joy-Cons, the question on everyone’s lips is the release date of this famous Switch 2. Several rumors in the corridor now suggest a launch in 2025, possibly in the spring. Nintendo would be cautious in order to build up sufficient stocks and anticipate strong demand. This delay would also give developers time to finalize flagship titles requiring more power, while avoiding the scalping problems observed when the first Switch was released.
