Rumor: French accessory company posts pics of Switch Mini [Update: Some pics are fanmade mock ups]

It looks like it won't be able to be used in docked mode. I do mostly use handheld but this will also means you can't play local coop with friends in games like MK8 and more.
Curious to see the price and details on this.

The two types of renders are vastly different. The top one looks very chunky. The screen would be very small if you compare the size with the face buttons.
Overall though, the big difference between the types of render are enough for me to discount this 'leak' wholesale.

F-Zero and Wave Race are way faker than those ... at least we KNOW a metroid and a pokemon are coming. We also KNOW that nintendo killed F-zero and Wave Race =P
The screenshots being pasted on top of the hardware doesn't mean the hardware images themselves are fake.
Those fan-made images have been floating around for some time now. The retailer's just rearranged them. Here they are in a post from back in February: https://aminoapps.com/c/nintendo-sw...talk-time/WJzW_el0FXu786zN8X6v826PeraKX6nqmM6
Looks great if true. Perhaps Switch Mini keeps the same screen size but does away with that ugly ass giant noughties style bezel. Which is what those images indicate.
Although I'd prefer a Switch with a bigger screen.

this looks pretty ugly, but it seems fake to me.

You're right. All of the buttons are in different places between the two renders. Weird.
Accessory makers are jumping the gun like crazy for the Switch Mini, and are doing so with fan mockups. Either they don't know jack shit and Nintendo is keeping a tight ship because it will be truly unconventional in design and appearance or they know enough that the fan mockups are really close to the final product and they are saying fuck it lets go with this for now. Either way, I feel a reveal is gonna happen in the next week, too much smoke has appeared.
If the real design is close to this, I dig it, tho. Will finally buy a Switch when (if) the Mini comes out.
The smaller, different coloured switches look to be the same from Feb.
But the lighting on the larger, light blue Switch is different. It also features shoulder buttons the same colour as the main body, whilst the smaller ones feature grey buttons. So the larger one is different.
It's hilarious how these renders of a genuine looking new system (the light blue one) come bundled with other pictures using old forum photoshops from 2017.
Well that was debunked fast.
It's 100% fake but still what gives you that idea?
Yeah these are old af now. Those were posted not that long after the Switch's release
Wait on closer inspection the ones on the left are fan mockups, but the one on the right is close to the silicon case of BigBen. Minimal top and bottom bezels, same button placement and even the large round power button. Shit, is that one an old mockup as well?
I really don't see a future official Switch having a D-pad by default; that's always my go-to "this smells funny"
Of course, that prediction could be wrong, but I suspect Nintendo would be very concerned about UI consistency.
It's things like that. It's by no means an insurmountable issue, but it's absolutely the sort of thing Nintendo cares about more than people imagine.

I keep forgetting the joy cons don't have a d pad since I got shell replacements years ago. That alone worth it.
