Nintendo Switch 2 Rumors: Magnetic Joy-Con Controllers and Bigger Screen Size

Gaming enthusiasts are buzzing with the latest rumor about the Nintendo Switch 2. According to reports, the next-gen console might feature Joy-Con controllers that attach magnetically to the device, replacing the current rail connection system.

This exciting update comes from a Spanish gaming publication, which has a history of accurately predicting Nintendo Switch features. While these details are not officially confirmed, they come from a source with a record of reliability.

Additionally, the Nintendo Switch 2 is expected to have a larger screen than the original 2017 model, yet still smaller than the Steam Deck. This aligns with previous rumors about an 8-inch LCD display for the upcoming console.

Fans of the Nintendo Switch Pro Controller will be pleased to hear that it will reportedly be compatible with the Nintendo Switch 2. It's currently unclear if the original Joy-Con controllers will work wirelessly with the new console or if there will be an upgraded Pro controller.

The potential of magnetically-attached Joy-Con controllers has sparked further speculation about their design and quality. Many hope that this change will address the infamous stick drift issue and lead to a more robust build for the Joy-Con.

As always, we await official confirmation from Nintendo on these exciting developments for the highly-anticipated Nintendo Switch 2.
