Nintendo Switch 2

The Nintendo Switch 2 is a direct sequel to the original Switch, and follows much of the same design cues. The console is designed for both handheld play and TV play, with connectors on each side for controllers and ports to allow the console to dock for TV display. Unlike the original Switch however, the Joy-Cons connect via magnets rather than plastic rails (likely due to common user-error) and there are USB-C ports on the top and bottom of the console, allowing the console to be charged in table-top mode. The Nintendo Switch 2 also has a much larger, adjustable kickstand, somewhat similar to the Nintendo Switch's OLED model, to allow for more stability during table-top gameplay.

Nintendo Switch 2 Dock

The dock will likely come included with the main console, and will allow the console to output video to a TV or monitor, while charging the main console and any attached Joy-Cons. By connecting and disconnecting the main console and dock, it is possible to seamlessly switch between different methods of play. The dock is powered by a 60W USB-C AC adapter, compared to the 39W required to power the original Nintendo Switch dock. More technical details have not been revealed yet, though the hardware code was revealed via FCC listings.

Game Cartridge

Not much is known about the BEE Game Cartridges, but their hardware code was leaked early via the Nintendo Switch's intellectual properties information page, accessible via the System Settings, which lists "BEE-006" alongside the Switch cartridges' "HAC-008" hardware code.

Joy-Con Charging Grip

The Joy-Con charging grip is a controller-shaped grip that allows for a pair of Nintendo Switch 2 Joy-Cons to be mounted. This grip allows you to charge the Joy-Cons while you play. This Joy-Con grip is charged via a USB-C port. More technical details have not been revealed yet, though the hardware code was revealed via FCC listings.

Joy-Con (L)

A detachable controller that can be magnetically attached to the left side of the Nintendo Switch 2. Both a left and right Joy-Con are included with the main console. A button on the back is used to detach the Joy-Con from the console by pushing the Joy-Con away from the console until they're no longer within range to magnetise to each other.

Joy-Con (R)

A detachable controller that can be magnetically attached to the right side of the Switch. Both a left and right Joy-Con are included with the main console. A button on the back is used to detach the Joy-Con from the console by pushing the Joy-Con away from the console until they're no longer within range to magnetise to each other.

Note: Nintendo Switch 2 development hardware seems to exist in the 50s, similar to how Nintendo Switch Labo sets start from HAC-051.

Relay Box

The Relay Box is intended to be used with the Nintendo Switch 2 and its related development console(s), and is used in a similar manner to the standard Nintendo Switch 2 dock. It's currently only known that the Relay Box can connect to development consoles via a custom cable, that the Relay Box can connect to a computer via a USB cable and that it's powered by a "NGN-01" power adapter. This power adapter is likely to be USB-C, as it is also used to charge the Nintendo Switch 2 and Joy-Con Charging Grip in various tests. More technical details have not been revealed yet, though the hardware code was revealed via FCC listings.

Nintendo Switch 2 development console

A Nintendo Switch 2 development console is mentioned in FCC tests. It is apparently largely identical to the normal retail Nintendo Switch 2 console and is used for late-stage testing, similar to the Nintendo Switch's EDEV console. It has no expandable memory, but the NAND storage can still be upgraded. More technical details have not been revealed yet, though the hardware code was revealed via FCC listings.
