There’s lots of talk about a new version of the Nintendo Switch, called Switch 2. People are saying it might have a bigger screen and magnets in its controllers.
If you’ve ever struggled to attach the Joy-Con controllers to your Switch, you’ll understand why this is exciting news. Imagine if they just clicked into place easily with magnets! This rumor comes from a gaming website called Vandal, which correctly predicted the Switch OLED model before.

Vandal also thinks the new Switch might not come out until later than expected and agrees that a bigger screen would be nice. But the big news is the idea of magnetic Joy-Cons.
However, there are concerns. Will the magnets be strong enough to keep the controllers secure while playing on the go? And will they be easy to remove when playing at home? Some people worry about compatibility with older Joy-Cons, but there’s no guarantee that old controllers will work with new consoles anyway.
But maybe Vandal’s information isn’t accurate. Nintendo hasn’t said anything about a new Switch yet. So, until then, we’ll just have to wait and see what happens.
