It seems like every week there's a new leak about the highly anticipated Switch 2, and this time it's another peripheral maker who's in hot water with Nintendo. Rumors about the Switch 2 have been circulating for quite some time now, but as we get closer to the official reveal - which Nintendo has promised will happen before April - the speculations seem to be ramping up.
Just last week, a video allegedly showcasing the new Joy-Con controllers for the Switch 2 surfaced online, and now a Chinese website has been caught selling accessories for the new console ahead of its release, revealing details about its size. And now, just a week later, another company that specializes in console accessories has accidentally given us a sneak peek at the Switch 2 before Nintendo's official announcement.
In a YouTube video announcing their new ZenGrip 2 accessory, US-based company Satisfye revealed a blurry shot of the product attached to a Switch console. The deliberate blurriness of the image suggests that Satisfye was indeed teasing their accessory for the Switch 2, which is further reinforced by the fact that the video was quickly taken down, as if it had revealed something it shouldn't have.
Despite the unclear image, keen-eyed internet users managed to capture screenshots before the trailer's removal. And although the quality isn't the best, these screenshots by users DP19 and WickedRay bear a striking resemblance to the alleged leaked images of the Switch 2 prototype from last October. Additionally, the right-hand Joy-Con appears to have an extra button, just like the one shown in the leaked footage from last week.
Furthermore, Satisfye's website features a pre-order page for the ZenGrip 2 with a logo that clearly depicts the Switch, along with the text "made for next gen console." So it's safe to say that Satisfye is definitely promoting this accessory for use with the Switch 2.
It's been speculated that the Switch 2 won't look too different from the original model, but it's surprising that Satisfye would risk Nintendo's wrath by publishing a video featuring the console. As an accessory company, it's possible that Satisfye has inside knowledge about the Switch 2's appearance, or maybe they based their mock-up image on all the rumored information that's been circulating.
There's some debate about whether Satisfye's video was just a clever marketing stunt or if they truly have insider information, but one thing is for sure - the official reveal of the Switch 2 can't be too far off. With rumors that Nintendo won't unveil the console until 2025, some are holding out hope for an announcement at The Game Awards this Friday.
