Nintendo Switch 2 codename leaked

It seems like that’s the code name for the next one Nintendo Console is “Ounce”. Like all other companies, Nintendo assigns code names to its hardware during development. Sometimes the code names seem to have some significance to the product being developed, but sometimes they don’t, or at least not in a way that is immediately obvious.

For example, the Nintendo 64 was known as Project Reality when it was in development, perhaps a nod to its 3D graphics. The GameCube was known as the “Dolphin,” while the Wii was called the “Revolution,” a reference to its revolutionary new motion control features. The Wii U’s codename was Cafe and finally the Nintendo Switch’s codename was NX. Fans referred to the Switch as the NX for months before the console was officially revealed thanks to leaks, and it seems like the same could be true for Nintendo’s next-gen console.

Nintendo hasn’t officially announced its next console or revealed its codename. However, Pokémon Developer Game Freak recently fell victim to a massive data leak that revealed all sorts of information about the franchise’s future plans, including the next Nintendo console. According to the leaked data, a new one Pokémon The game is being developed for something codenamed Ounce. Without knowing exactly what the next Nintendo console will launch, it’s hard to say if this codename has any relevance to the device’s features or capabilities.

What is Switch 2’s leaked codename?

However, it was claimed back in May that Nintendo may be working on an expanded port of Breath of the Wild for the new console. At that time, the Sega leaker Midori brought up the code name “Ounce”. At the time, it was speculated that the codename may refer to the weight of the new Nintendo console and the fact that it will still be relatively light despite the significant improvements over the existing Switch models.

It remains to be seen what exactly the Switch 2 will bring, but the rumors are circulating. Various leaks and rumors suggest that the Switch 2 console may even feature a dual-screen setup similar to the Nintendo DS, with magnetic Joy-Cons and a “wheel” similar to what is used on computer mice . But until Nintendo itself reveals the next-generation console, fans should take all leaks and rumors with caution. Nintendo’s next-generation console is expected to be unveiled sometime in April 2025, so details should be revealed within the next six months or so.
