Nintendo utilizes Gom Jabbar pain box to hide Switch 2 from third-party manufacturers

Nintendo is taking extraordinary measures to maintain secrecy around its upcoming Switch 2, including using an opaque box method to allow third-party manufacturers to feel the new console without seeing it. This has confirmed the device will be larger and feature new JoyCons with magnetic suction. The anticipated release is not expected before early 2025, as Nintendo aims to expand its first-party game portfolio and avoid hardware supply issues. The Switch 2 is rumored to include advanced features like an Nvidia Ampere chip and support for DLSS, enhancing its performance capabilities.
