The rumor mill surrounding the Nintendo Switch 2 is churning, with fresh leaks hinting at a potential release in early 2025. Among the whispers of three console variants and a Pro Controller, a nostalgic accessory has emerged: a steering wheel reminiscent of the Wii era. This has sparked speculation and excitement among fans eager for the next-generation Nintendo console.
Recent leaks suggest the Nintendo Switch 2 might launch with a steering wheel accessory designed for racing games, potentially coinciding with the rumored release of a new Mario Kart game. Although the Mario Kart title is rumored for next year, it may not launch alongside the Switch 2, suggesting the steering wheel accessory might not be available at the console’s initial release.
The leaked image of the purported Switch 2 steering wheel shows a design remarkably similar to its Wii predecessor. It features Joy-Cons nestled in the center of a plastic steering wheel shell, mirroring the Wii Remote’s integration with the original Wii steering wheel. You can see the leaked image here.
It’s unclear whether this accessory is a third-party creation or officially authorized by Nintendo. Given the apparent familiarity with the Switch 2’s design, it’s speculated that Nintendo or an official partner is involved in its development. This adds a layer of credibility to the leak, further fueling anticipation for the upcoming console.
Nintendo has remained silent on this leak, maintaining its consistent no-comment stance on all Switch 2 rumors. As such, we don’t expect an official response to this relatively minor leak. However, we will diligently update this story if any new information emerges.
