Apparently the Pro Controller is getting extra buttons (Nintendo)A known insider claims to know details around the Nintendo Switch 2s reveal date, along with some Pro Controller news.Nintendo Switch 2 leaks have become practically a daily occurrence over the past few weeks, as the before April reveal window from Nintendo itself gets ever narrower.Weve seen a slew of leaks from accessory manufacturers, with mock-up images appearing to show the console and the new seemingly magnetic Joy-Con controllers. One person has even claimed to have the final unit, with promises of more details to be released on Christmas Day.An insider who previously shared drawings of the alleged Switch 2 dock earlier this year has now posted some additional information, including about the buttons on the controllers.According to NinSpider on Famiboards, the Switch 2 version of the Pro Controller the more traditional gamepad that works similarly to those for PlayStation and Xbox will have two new buttons on the back, although they dont share specifics on what theyll be used for.The insider claims the previously leaked back button on the Switch 2 Joy-Con will also likely be used for input rather than release. It was previously speculated the back pedal would be some kind of release for the magnetic sliders to detach the Joy-Cons from the console itself.If it is used for some kind of button input in-game, that suggests its tied to some new feature which will be unique to the Switch 2.This isnt the only mystery button causing speculation headaches. Some people believe an extra button on the right Joy-Con controller, labelled as C in mock-up images, is a potential cast button to beam your gameplay wirelessly to the TV that or a voice chat function.In the same post, NinSpider also claims the week after the Japanese New Year (w/c January 6) may be the time when the Switch 2 is revealed, although they heavily couch this by saying it could instead be new information about the Switch port of Xenoblade Chronicles X.While this might sound like a cruel joke at the height of Switch 2 anticipation, this would track with Nintendos incredible run of borderline troll announcements over the past few months, where instead of a new console its instead focused on very minor reveals from the Alarmo clock to a Nintendo music app.Several insiders have suggested January will be when the console is unveiled though, and while that would make a lot of sense its probably best to remain sceptical for everyones sanity.More TrendingNintendo has not confirmed anything about its next console, aside from it being backwards compatible and that it will be announced before April.
