The gaming community is buzzing with anticipation for the next-generation Nintendo console, often referred to as the “Switch 2.” While Nintendo remains tight-lipped about official details, a recent incident involving third-party accessory manufacturer Satisfye may have inadvertently offered a glimpse of the console’s design. A now-deleted trailer for their new product, the “Zengrip 2,” showcased a silhouette of a device resembling the Nintendo Switch, but with some key differences.
Screenshots of the trailer, preserved and circulating on social media platforms like Bluesky, reveal a console silhouette that has sparked considerable speculation. The image, embedded below, shows a device with what appears to be a modified form factor, though it’s important to note the grips shown are part of Satisfye’s Zengrip 2 accessory, not the console itself.
The authenticity of this potential leak remains uncertain. Given Nintendo’s secrecy surrounding the new console, it seems unlikely they would share design details with a smaller third-party manufacturer like Satisfye. Many suspect the design in the trailer was based on existing online speculation and renders.
Further investigation into Satisfye’s social media activity reveals a Twitter/X post from November 20th where they responded to a Gameranx article featuring fan-made renders of the rumored Switch 2. Satisfye commented that the design “looks legit,” and these renders bear a striking resemblance to the silhouette in the Zengrip 2 trailer. This suggests Satisfye may have simply adapted those renders for their trailer, rather than having insider knowledge of the console’s actual design. While less exciting, this explanation aligns with the timing and seems more plausible.

Fortunately, the wait for official information shouldn’t be much longer. Nintendo has confirmed a full reveal will occur before the end of their fiscal year in March, giving us a three-month window of anticipation. Historically, Nintendo Direct presentations often take place in February, making it a likely candidate for the big announcement.
In conclusion, while the leaked image from Satisfye’s trailer generated excitement, its legitimacy remains questionable. Evidence suggests it may be based on pre-existing fan renders rather than official information. However, with Nintendo’s promised reveal on the horizon, concrete details about the next-generation console are imminent.
