Dbrand has published what it claims to be an image of the Switch 2 inside its latest case

Controversial peripheral company Dbrand has started promoting a new case that appears to suggest it contains a Switch 2.

The Canadian firm posted an X teaser image on Thursday showing the back of the case, along with the message “we will not be answering any questions at this time.”

However, he has now posted a link to his site, promoting what he calls the Switch 2 Killswitch.

The product page shows an animation of what appears to be a computer-generated rendering of its translucent casing, with a console inside.

It seems, then, that Dbrand claims that the internal console is the successor to the Nintendo Switch.

While purported carrying cases for the Switch 2 have been spotted on Chinese product websites in recent days, this is the first time a prominent Western peripheral maker has posted an image of what it claims to be the console.

If the image is accurate, it would seem to confirm rumors that the Switch 2 will have an extra button on the right Joy-Con next to the Home button (with the Capture button apparently still on the left Joy-Con).

It should be noted that Dbrand is known for his controversial stunts, some of which have included Nintendo as a target.

Last year it released a set of unofficial Zelda-themed Switch stickers that say “fuck you, lawyers” in code on the Dock.

The stickers’ website included a section titled “The Power of Plagiarism,” criticizing Nintendo’s decision to release a Zelda-themed console and saying it had a cheaper alternative.

“You see, when one of the world’s most litigious companies announces a price of $359.99 to replace your Switch with a limited edition variant, only Dbrand is up to the challenge of charging you a little less for a ‘creative reinterpretation’ of its new and expensive console. ”he said at the time.

The Switch 2 Killswitch case render also has a secret code, although this time directed at the player and not Nintendo. Written as a series of hexadecimal numbers, when converted to text it reads “why are you deciphering this?”
