A Chinese insider has caused a stir by leaking CAD images of the much-anticipated Nintendo Switch 2. This anonymous source claims to have a functional unit available for purchase, offering it to an accessory manufacturer at the hefty sum of around $39,800, according to discussions on Reddit.
The CAD designs have reportedly been utilized by Dbrand and other accessory makers for the Switch 2 long before the official unveiling. The fact that the console’s design in its reveal trailer aligns perfectly with these leaks suggests this leaker is quite credible. That said, it’s always wise to maintain some skepticism regarding early leaks.
This leaker, active on the Xiaohongshu forums, informed a prospective buyer that they’d be able to test out the Switch 2 dock, joystick, and tablet. There’s also talk of Pro controllers hitting the market next week, hinting at a possible upgrade to Nintendo’s current Switch Pro accessory.
A revealing Reddit post includes screenshots of direct messages with a black market dealer, listing prices for the dock, joycons, and tablet at just shy of $40,000. The question is, will the buyer choose to invest in this pre-release hardware? The decision likely hinges on potential profits. Early access to such hardware could give case and peripheral makers, whether official or not, a head start in crafting compatible accessories.
Navigating the shady waters of the black market, our leaker is probably expecting significant compensation for each session with what’s clearly a sought-after device. Imagine the possibilities for those creating unofficial Switch 2 accessories, like flash carts, who would likely pay handsomely for early hands-on experience.
A first-look trailer of the Nintendo Switch 2 is already making the rounds online, sparking even more excitement. Yet, one might wonder: without any Switch 2 games to test or enhance, what does one really gain from a pre-release unit? While it could set the stage for early development and exploitation, actual game patches and functionality upgrades wouldn’t come until the console’s launch approaches.
As we await an official release date from Nintendo, there’s a certain irony in thinking this buyer might end up holding a soon-to-be-outdated treasure. Until that date is announced, keep an eye on these intriguing developments.
