Is this Switch 2? Accessory maker unveils trailer showing blurry mock-up design of Nintendo’s next console
The gaming hardware accessories maker has removed a trailer that showed a blurry outline of what was clearly supposed to be Nintendo’s hidden Switch 2.
Accessory maker Satisfye is the next company to start selling peripherals for the Switch 2, although Nintendo has yet to officially announce a Switch successor or detail what it will look like.
Product pages for ZenGrip 2, Switch 2 Console Grip, and Case for Nintendo’s Next Console are still available. (Do not use the name “Switch” anywhere specifically, although state that they are “Made for the Next-Gen Console” with a picture of the current-gen Switch.)
However, the trailer for the products whose hardware was attached to the Switch 2’s handle has now been removed, although the internet has taken notice.
It’s worth noting that the ZenGrip 2 product page states that this is an “expected design” and that the accessory “will be customized to final specifications.” However, with only three months (max) left before the Switch 2 is finally revealed, the device’s form factor is fairly well known.
While some console companies share product specs with third parties ahead of launch to speed up peripheral production, it’s likely that we’ve already seen a relatively final version of the Switch 2 thanks to previous leaks.

Purported images of the Switch 2 skin have been floating around the internet for months, with Digital Foundry calling them “almost certainly real.” They show a console almost identical in form factor to the current Switch, albeit with a larger screen, a second small button on the right Joy-Con, and magnetic mounts on each side of the Joy-Con.
There are also 3D printed Switch 2 plans based on leaks, and fans have been 3D printing versions for months just for fun.
Does ZenGrip 2 have inside information? Is it just an attempt to get ahead of the competition with a clever gimmick to attract attention? Or why not both?
Nintendo has yet to announce any details about its next console, other than confirming that it will announce the Switch 2 properly before March 31, 2025, the end of the current fiscal year.
