Even in the rosiest of hypotheses we can assume that for the release of Nintendo Switch 2 it takes at least a year, but already many rumor on the console we are now going to add a leak sui Joy-Con. We are talking about “leaks” specifically because the source, this time, is the peripheral manufacturing company Mobopad, to which we owe several third-party controllers for the current hybrid of the Kyoto Colossus. On Japanese social media Bilibili (not to be confused with Billbil-kun, ed.), the company has shared presumably confidential information, which we will not have confirmation of before the highly anticipated official announcement of the new hardware. And, as far as we have understood, the evolution does not stop at the console itself.
