Photos claiming to show Joy-Con controllers for an unreleased Nintendo system have appeared on Chinese social media. What caught my attention was a key detail: the system serial number visible in these photos checks out on Nintendo’s official warranty verification page.
The images showcase controllers that look similar to current Switch Joy-Cons with some apparent design tweaks. While I can’t verify the authenticity of these photos, the functional warranty number is an interesting technical detail that sets this leak apart from typical rumors. Nintendo has not made any official statements about these images or a new console. Industry watchers expect announcements about Nintendo’s next system sometime in early 2024.
