The Nintendo Switch 2 leaks keep coming — even if Nintendo is taking some rather dramatic steps to see that they don't.

Right after information about a larger screen size and new JoyCons for the Switch 2 leaked out, a new report confirms a lot of what we've heard while adding some new details. Spanish gaming site Vandal revealed that third-party manufacturers have been able to get their hands on the next-generation Nintendo console. But it seems that someone at Nintendo has been re-watching Dune: Part One. 

Vandal blithely remarks that this 7 seconds in heaven with the Switch 2 allowed participants to learn that the new console will be bigger than the original Switch, closer in size to Valve’s Steam Deck.
