Rumour: Nintendo Switch Mini possibly leaked by a BigBen silicone glove

- Start date
I find it hard to believe that they wouldn't put a traditional d-pad for this rumored model. Please have a d-pad!
if the dpad on a switch mini with non-detachable control is still like that i would laugh so hard.
Dang it I already have a Nintendo Switch lol! So why am I getting really hyped for this and want to buy it?
Note that on the case itself, it's a circle, not a cross-section for the button-based Dpad.
Probably to keep the branding similar across every model. 4 buttons each side represents Switch and I really doubt Nintendo will want to change that.
Sort of how the notch currently represents the iPhone. You recognize the following as an iPhone and not a generic phone:
So besides being smaller what were the rumors surrounding this? No gyro, docking, and rumble?
What about that "Pro" or whatever model?

Again, please look at the case. The opening below the left control stick is a circle, meaning it is more likely for a full D-Pad.
This is like a day old. But let me just say that "mini SWITCH. 2" is such poor branding that this might just be real.
Yeah...I'm looking at the case. Seeing two different ways and the actual product does seem to point towards a traditional d-pad. Hopefully that's the case.
I'm in, but the lack of "Pro" model leaks makes me think that model is coming later (which is the one I want :/)
Also RE: the "Mini Switch 2" name, I work in telecommunications and our accessory suppliers always assign their own names to new models because they don't know the final retail name
I'd imagine this is probably a similar sitch

The second image (and the insert image on packaging) is just the original Switch version that they already sell on their site.
Not worth the confusion.
The product inside the packaging is more fuel for the fire though.

Couldn't care less for a Switch mini. Give me a Switch Pro. It's already as portable and versatile as it needs to be.
Give us games that don't cut our eyes with Jaggies.
Switch Pro with BoTW Patch as it's premier title.
Much like the Witcher's environments, any bump in resolution helps IMMENSELY.

As someone who frequently plays games with my wife and getting the Pokemon Sword/Shield double pack, a Switch mini would be huge for us. That way we could play at the same time, using each handheld Switch, and dock the system at home for TV play.
This is also probably a big deal for kids who want to pick up the new Pokemon games, but their parents don't want to drop $300 on a new home console. Put this out for $200 and it will sell like hotcakes.
Nintendo somehow beating everyone else to next generation would be hilarious (yes, some people already claim Switch is a 9th gen console, but they're wrong).
2 Mini Switch.
Based on the other thread I thought it was just a spec bumped premium edition, but calling it Switch 2 sort of implies an entirely new generation for the hardware. Unless they're following smartphone numbering, I guess.
About it being $200? Or about it selling like hotcakes at $200?
People drop that much, if not more, for tablets for their kids all the time.
Yes. They probably hit the jackpot with Switch concept.
With virtually no competition in the market, they can keep going with the Switch as an established brand like Playstation and XBox.
Not to mention they're still the only company with a dedicated gaming handheld on the market, with the added bonus of it also being a home console.
Plus it's enticing competition if the PS5/Scarlett end up being $500-600 as expected.
the 2 mustn't imply anything other than it's the next revision. this is the company that launched a successor to their hugely popular DS, the 3ds, that played games in 3d, then launched a 2ds that played 3ds games in 2d, then launched a new 3ds that played exactly three games, then launched a new 2ds, then dropped 3D support entirely from their own first party software.
