Some fans believe that they’ve uncovered new tech specs for Switch 2, and have apparently done so in a bit of a bizarre way.
Believe it or not, the information seems to have originated from customs and shipping data. Fans have keep keeping an eye on shipments being sent between Nintendo, NVIDIA, and other parts manufacturers. March shipping information only just became viewable this week, and references to a number of new shipments with new codenames have been found that many believe are components for the next Nintendo console.

Spanish outlet Vandal published the latest report on Switch 2 today and claims to have a few more details about the device. The site’s information was apparently shared by accessory manufacturers.
Valdal first claims that the controllers will be attached magnetically. That’s in contrast to the current Switch which uses a rail system. As of now, it’s unclear if Joy-Con controllers will be compatible with the new system.

According to Persona leaker MbKKssTBhz5, Persona 6 will be appearing on Nintendo’s next console. No further details were provided other than it’s happening – apparently.
Atlus hasn’t announced the RPG but it’s only a matter of when, not if. The company has been various entries in the series since Persona 5’s original launch, and considering how long ago that was – 2016 originally and 2017 in the west – there’s no question that it’s deep in development.
Rumor: Paper Mario: The Thousand Year Door, Luigi’s Mansion 2 HD news coming for MAR10 Day
Posted on 8 months ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in Rumors, Switch | 0 comments
If you’ve been waiting to find out when Paper Mario: The Thousand Year Door and Luigi’s Mansion 2 HD will be releasing on Switch, the good news is that it may not be much longer. X user Pyoro, who has a habit of leaking Nintendo announcements such as content from Nintendo Directs, now indicates that news about both titles will be shared on MAR10 Day. Presumably that will include updated launch timing.
MAR10 Day, of course, is March 10. That’s Nintendo’s way of recognizing the Super Mario franchise. Most MAR10 Days come and go without much news, with the company focusing on things like bundles and sales. However, we did get the release date for the Mario Kart 8 Deluxe Booster Course Pass Wave 4 last year, so release dates aren’t out of the question.

If true, that would fly in the face of other rumors reported last year. It was previously claimed by other outlets that Nintendo’s next system would be launching in 2024.
