The Nintendo Switch 2 will more than likely be coming out sometime in 2025. Even so, Nintendo has offered zero insight on the console. When it comes to official information on the Switch 2, there is nothing related to the hardware itself. Backward compatibility is just about one of the few things that have been confirmed for the upcoming console.
While Nintendo has been slow to deliver news, leaks have been churned out on a regular basis. Everything from the internal specs of the Nintendo Switch 2 to the design has been leaked out in some capacity by now. The first full look at the Nintendo Switch 2, however, might actually be thanks to an accidental Amazon listing.

Does Amazon Have the Real Switch 2 Design?
Third-party hardware companies are generally pretty good at keeping quiet. The Japanese company, LAZIRO, seems to have jumped the gun, however. They put out an Amazon listing for a Switch 2 case, and it shows off a lot more than it should. Now, granted, the console shown in their advertising images may not be the physical Switch 2 itself, but even a rough 3D model isn’t supposed to be shown early.
Everything about the Switch 2 shown in the Amazon listing seems to line up perfectly with what leaks have said, even just starting with the simple fact that it, by default, comes in a white color. Most prominently, the mysterious, new ‘C’ button can be clearly seen. Unfortunately, there’s still no way of knowing what it does without an official presentation from Nintendo. The extra buttons on the back can also be seen. Their sole purpose is to detach the new Joy-Cons from the console. If this render somehow isn’t the Nintendo Switch 2, it is a very convincing replica, based on what rumors have said.

Nintendo’s new patent hints at a feature that could change the way games look and run for its new console.
The Nintendo Switch 2 may not get an official reveal for a while, but leaks and accidental reveals like this Amazon listing provide a tantalizing glimpse of what’s to come. Nintendo’s next-generation console comes with a lot of expectations, so these kinds of slip-ups are going to continue garnering a lot of attention. The only way Nintendo can actually combat all this fervor is by showing the console off themselves. Until then, even just mistaken listings are going to attract the interest of many.
