A new Nintendo Switch 2 leak has surfaced online, out of China, reportedly revealing our first look at the new Joy-Con controller for the upcoming Nintendo console. The leak specifically comes the way of Chinese website Bilibili, where an anonymous user shared multiple angles of what they claim to be the new Nintendo Switch 2 controllers. However, the images have been heavily blurred in order to supposedly protect the source’s identity.

To this end, and as you can see below — courtesy of a new post on the Nintendo Switch 2 Reddit page — the supposed Nintendo Switch 2 joy-con controller looks very similar to the current Nintendo Switch Joy-Con controller, though there appears to be an extra button on the back of the controllers now that appears to be some type of back pedal.
While China may seem like a random place for this leak to happen, this is actually quite common. Like other video game consoles, the Nintendo Switch 2 is being mass produced in China. And typically as new, unrevealed hardware goes into mass production it begins to leak, which is typically why video game hardware reveal is revealed either before this happens or right as it happens.
At the moment of publishing, Nintendo has not commented on this supposed leak in any capacity. We do not suspect this to change for a variety of reasons, with the primary reason being it never comments on rumors. If this changes though, we will be sure to update the story accordingly.
