With all the rumours and speculation about Nintendo's next hardware over the last few weeks (who are we kidding — last few years ), the recent 'leak' of prototype pictures has piqued the interest of even the most level-headed Nintendo fans. The images show renders and what appear to be prototype casings for the main console with new, larger Joy-Con variants, plus a shot of a chipless motherboard. While the fervour for Switch 2 news makes it easy to dismiss this as an elaborate fake — we all remember the oval NX pics based on a Nintendo patent that 'leaked' prior to the Switch's reveal — these images align with the rumours and industry whispers regarding the upcoming console.
And yesterday the expert folk over at Digital Foundry shared their opinion : they believe these leaks are "almost certainly" the real deal..
