Nintendo has updated the Switch 2 hardware to comply with new European rules regarding replacement batteries. The revised model is now available in multiple regions, and a video by YouTube channel Nintendúo shows that the physical differences are minimal and difficult to notice at first glance.
Nintendo will produce a version of the Switch 2 for Europe with a removable battery, while the version in the United States will continue to have a non-removable internal battery.
In its latest financial release, Nintendo reconfirmed release windows for its first-party line-up, including Zelda: Ocarina of Time later this year, and Pokémon Winds & Waves and Xenoblade Genesis in 2027. Other mentioned titles include Nintendo Switch Sports Resort and Fire Emblem: Fortunes Weave.
A new LCD screen for the Switch 2 has been spotted on Chinese reseller sites, suggesting an upgrade to the console's display despite no OLED implementation. The leak was noted by Nintendo Patents Watch.
Nintendo is reportedly developing a revised version of the Switch 2 to comply with EU regulations requiring user-replaceable batteries. The change aims to allow users to easily replace the battery themselves.
Nintendo filed four confidential design registrations in Europe at the end of May. The purpose of these registrations is currently unknown, but they may indicate upcoming new hardware.
