Nintendo still isn't ready to officially reveal any details about the Switch 2 (beyond a brief mention of backward compatibility in November). But that hasn't stopped gaming accessory maker Genki from giving us one of the best looks yet at the size and shape of Nintendo's upcoming hardware, as well as a video glimpse of how the console's new Joy-Cons will attach to the base tablet.

Genki is reportedly using a scale 3D model of the Switch 2 to show off its console cases behind closed doors at the Consumer Electronics Show. A video from French tech site Numerama shows that 3D model dwarfing an original Switch model in both length and width.

The Joy-Cons on your Switch were pretty innovative when the system came out, but it’s been long enough that we know they don’t work for every use case. Luckily, it’s also been long enough that plenty of companies have come out with their own Switch controllers, meaning you have your pick of the litter when it comes to upgrading your gamepad experience. Whether you’re a casual player, love to marathon classic games or are ready to take your Switch skills to a professional tournament, there’s a Switch controller for you.
