Daily Debate: Are the "Leaked" 40th Anniversary Zelda Switch 2 and Accessories Real or Fake? - Zelda Dungeon
www.zeldadungeon.net
For us gamers, it has becoming increasingly rare for new products to release without first being spoiled or leaked by unauthorized sources. In an age of data miners, rumor channels, so-called industry “insiders,” those of us who are chronically online are seeing more and more gaming news leaked ahead of its planned announcement. In fact, the Zelda fandom has been abuzz in recent days over images of a supposed Zelda 40th anniversary edition of the Nintendo Switch 2 and an...

No clue if this is legitimate or someone’s AI-fueled wishful thinking.

    If it’s true, I am happy we are getting some JoyCon with full designs, I was afraid they may just stick with gray controllers with coloured ring. I want some different coloured JoyCon, like there were for Switch 1.

      I don’t think we’ll be lacking for joycon designs. Though my desire to buy any for the asking price is super low.

      I’ve been using my launch switch 1 controller with my switch 2. I’ve missed the convenience of remote system wake-up, just not enough to spring for a new controller. Will probably grab the Zelda one if it turns out to be legit. The collector in me really wants the console, but that’s a cost I can’t justify. Would be a slam dunk if I didn’t already have a SW2 though.

        I agree about the price. I bought couple of JoyCon sets but much later in the lifecycle (and mainly because of drift), and don’t plan to buy another set for Switch 2 until I need it, or just for a change in 2-3 years down the lane (if it keeps working till them). For now, just want them to exist so I can hope for more colours by the time I get around to getting them.

        One thing I like about Switch 2 (compared to PS5) is it can work with third party controllers, got a nice 8bitdo controller with TMR sticks that works with Switch 1, 2, PC and probably mobile too, but haven’t tried that. Only wish it worked with PS5 too, but they don’t allow third party controllers.

        The collector in me really wants the console, but that’s a cost I can’t justify. Would be a slam dunk if I didn’t already have a SW2 though.

        Most of my friend that care about Switch 2 had been waiting for a limited edition before buying it, but finally bit the bullet recently to get one before price increase. They’ll be really annoyed if this is real and coming soon.
