Today it is Vandal that can share exclusive details of the Japanese company's upcoming hardware after having received information from manufacturer's who have already had a first contact with Switch 2. Specifically, our colleague Ruben Mercade has been the one who has had access to those exclusive details during a fair with accessory manufacturing companies, as just happened with Nintendo Switch Oled.
Vandal is referring to their own prior reporting in May of 2021 where they correctly predicted that Nintendo intended on releasing an OLED Switch with a bigger screen, a new dock featuring an Ethernet port and a new stand. They didn't quite get the date right - the console ended up launching a month later than they believed, but overall the report was very accurate.
Vandal claims that the accessory manufacturers they spoke to were not allowed to see the new Switch, but could touch it. Nintendo allegedly put their new console inside of an opaque box, and people were allowed to put their hands inside and touch the hardware in order to get a feel for its dimensions. This might sound crazy, but tech companies have actually done this in the past.
Vandal goes on to say: 'Thanks to that we known that it would be larger than the Switch, although without reaching the size of the Steam Deck.' Vandal then went on to discuss a potential new feature of the Switch 2: magnetic Joy-Cons.
