While Nintendo has maintained pretty good control over the leaks about Switch 2, for the past few months, it feels like it has slipped up, as there has been no shortage of leaks and rumors about the upcoming successor to Switch. From its hardware details to its design aesthetic, everything has been floating on the internet.
Well, it’s a surprise to no one that there is a new leak in the community. However, this time, it suggests a new feature coming to the device, related to its joy-con. No, it’s not another button, but an additional feature for the entire controller: the leak suggests that Joy-Cons could feature some form of pointer controls.
Recent leaks suggest a pointer feature for Nintendo Switch 2
While Nintendo has yet to officially announce the next iteration of its wildly successful hybrid console, leaks continue to paint a clearer picture of what we can expect from the device and how it will perform compared to other devices on the market.
Some recent leaks are going as far as to show physical images of the device, including images of the motherboard, mockups for the cases, andeven images of the new Joy-Con controllers.
Among the most exciting details from the recent leaks (leak via Switchboard2) are revelations about the UI of the new device. The same person who shared these leaks also reported that there was a screenshot showing a pointer being used to selectMario Kart 8on the menu.

This information immediately sparked conversation in the community, as it suggests the possibility that the new Joy-Cons could incorporate some form of pointer control, similar to the functionality seen with the Wii’s motion controls. It’s intriguing as there are various UI designs similar to Wii U as well.
Fans are hopeful and excited to learn more about the device officially in the coming months, and if these leaks are to be believed, the upcoming hybrid console might just be the game-changer and deliver a major leap forward in console gaming.
The hype for the device continues to build
Since there have beenso many leaks and rumors about the device, there are arguably very few things left to learn about the upcoming hybrid console. Given Nintendo’s efforts to keep everything under wraps and not announce anything about the device, the community had started to feel a little stale.

But with this new leak about UI design and the additional feature for Jon-consgamers are once again hyped about the device. That said, everything is still a leak and should be taken with a grain of salt (at this point, fans probably have a mountain of salt).
As the anticipation for the device grows, it seems clear that the device is fast approaching its official reveal. With the company’s promise of official details coming by March 2025, it seems that the wait for the successor’s full reveal is nearing its end.
In the end, whether the new Joy-Cons will indeed feature pointer controls or whether this was just a shot in the dark, one thing is clear: the hype surrounding the Switch 2 is palpable, and gamers around the world are eagerly awaiting what’s next.
