The blue one aligns with the Chinese prototype leak (or whatever it was), the transparent protective shell leak, and the Big Ben leak. I don't think any of them are using official Nintendo imagery (lack of any button markings on this one for example) but they are all getting a specific design from somewhere.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?
Yeah it must be real bad getting free publicity like this.
Yeah, that looks pretty identical to the non-fan mockup render in the images on the OP. So I am inclined to believe this is real.For reference, here's a previous render from another accessory maker (that also used fan mockups in different images):
This and the baby blue look extremely similar, down to the micro SD slot below the right speaker. I'm starting to think this really is the final product.For reference, here's a previous render from another accessory maker (that also used fan mockups in different images):
The sticks and d-pad on this image look different, but the rest of the layout does look similar.For reference, here's a previous render from another accessory maker (that also used fan mockups in different images):
The + and - buttons are the Start and Select buttons.Why use + and - on the joy-cons if the joy-cons aren't detachable?
I still don't have a Switch, I'm not sure if they work as buttons or are just visual indicator of the direction of the joy-con.
They're the successors to the Select and Start buttons.Why use + and - on the joy-cons if the joy-cons aren't detachable?
I still don't have a Switch, I'm not sure if they work as buttons or are just visual indicator of the direction of the joy-con.
They aren't willing still, these aren't joycons.You can tell its fake because one is all black, and apparently Nintendo isn't willing to make me happy by releasing black Joy-Con.

Joy Cons are easily the most fragile Nintendo controller ever, no close second. What happens when they wear out in two months and can't be replaced?Looks legit. And I'm really surprised that it indeed doesn't have detachable joy cons.
That chasis is identical to the blue switch mini from the pic :O
It was the truth hiding in front of us the entire time, that's what it was. Nintendo going back to the d-pad for the mini gives me hope for revised joycons with the proper revision, that's the most exciting thing for me right now.
While these renders are definitely fake the ui there definitely wouldn't be the reason since the Hori Joy-Con uses a regular dpad icon for this screen iirc.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.
The Nintendo that has a 2D only 3DS product that can play the same games which have in game indicators for 3D and early 3DS home/star/select buttons certainly does not give a fuck about UI consistency.I really don't see a future official Switch having a D-pad by default; that's always my go-to "this smells funny"

The sky blue one on the right that is as accurate and likely as the final product definitely has minimal bezels if none at all, yeah.

I think that leak is fake because of the details the allegedly leaker released alongside those pics. He or she said this new model wouldn't have dock mode.It was the truth hiding in front of us the entire time, that's what it was.

That's awesome tbh, i'd legit buy it just for that.The Nintendo that has a 2D only 3DS product that can play the same games which have in game indicators for 3D and early 3DS home/star/select buttons certainly does not give a fuck about UI consistency.

yes, that would be the spreaker holes.That's awesome tbh, i'd legit buy it just for that.
So where are the speakers then? Sorry if it's obvious, I think I can see but surely it's not those cutouts under the system where your hands would cover them?

The black render which is almost exactly the same as yhis sky blue one has nodes next to the usb-c port for a dock, so its looking like its dockable at the moment. As for the vita, technically it doesn't look like a vita at all. I mean its semantics at this point, but it looks more like a Wii U gamepad then a vita.I think that leak is fake because of the details the allegedly leaker releases alongside those pics.

It's funny how all these renders contradict all the info we have from media outlets. WSJ said it wouldn't look at all like a Vita and Nikkei said the device would be dockable.
Yep, bottom firing speakers, but I doubt your hands could cover them that much.That's awesome tbh, i'd legit buy it just for that.

Thank you! On second thought, there seems to be enough space that your hands probably wouldn't cover them.

yeah i remember this but there was also picture of the back of this and someone said its fake because it included same model number as the og Switch.
