Every Nintendo Switch 2 accessory has leaked so far

Switch 2 leaks continue to roll in, with accessories reportedly at the fore that tease the promising new console.

It is now claimed that the Switch 2's magnetized controllers will not suffer from drift. As many Nintendo Switch owners have discovered, the console's Joy-Cons are prone to drift issues, a problem that seems to plague modern gaming hardware in general. This information comes from a Reddit user who claimed to have seen the Switch 2 console, and it seems he backed up his claims with enough evidence to convince the mods that they aren't just making things up. According to them, as reported by VGC, the Switch 2 Joy-Cons will use “Hall effect joysticks” which should eliminate the stick drift problem.

Switch 2 could fix Driver Drift

With drift being such an annoying problem for Switch owners, it would be fantastic if the successor console fixed this issue. However, fans should take any claims about the Nintendo Switch 2 and its features with a grain of salt. Nintendo has confirmed that the Switch 2 is on the way, but otherwise hasn't revealed much about the console in an official capacity.

While Nintendo has yet to properly reveal the Switch 2 to the masses, it has confirmed a few interesting details about the device. According to Nintendo itself, the Switch 2 will be backwards compatible with the original Switch, meaning it will have access to the console's vast library of games from the start. Not only that, but Nintendo Switch Online is expected to make the switch to the Switch 2. We also know that the Switch 2 will be revealed within the next four months, so fans will soon have concrete answers about the console and its capabilities.

Other Switch 2 rumors claim a March release date for the console with a January reveal. The increase in Switch 2 accessory leaks definitely seems to point to the console launching sooner rather than later, but again, fans shouldn't get their hopes up.
