Leaked photos of the Nintendo Switch 2 Joy-Con have some convinced that the new controller will double as a mouse.

Some recently uncovered data suggests that the Switch 2 Joy-Con controllers may ship with a new gimmick that's very Nintendo-like.

Last month, a report emerged claiming that Nintendo's upcoming system will in fact be called Switch 2. Apparently the hybrid system will utilize magnetic Joy-Cons as well, which was previously rumored for the console. It's unknown specifically when Nintendo will officially unveil the Switch successor, though it will be before the end of March.

The latest images allegedly showing the Switch 2 Joy-Con appeared on the Chinese forum Baidu Tieba and were subsequently re-shared across Reddit. The photos show a black case with with a neon blue connector extruding from the side.

Mere days into the New Year, Nintendo fans are hungrier than ever to get their first look at the Switch 2, and many are convinced that newly surfaced images supposedly depicting one of the console's controllers are legitimate.

Newly surfaced high-quality images appear to show off one of the new Joy-Cons for the unannounced Nintendo Switch 2.

The Nintendo community has been progressively losing its mind amid a torrent of Switch 2 leaks over the holiday break. With Nintendo maintaining its silence on its next console — even as photos purporting to be of final hardware and internal components emerge and more and more questions get answers — the community has been doing things like getting into heated debates about the merits of 8nm versus 5nm microchip manufacturing processes (a subject that everyone involved was definitely an expert in).
