As Nintendo gears up for the launch of its next console, the Switch successor, there is growing speculation that the company has taken lessons from its past missteps with the Wii U.

Recent leaks from accessory manufacturers and a Reddit user claiming to have tested a retail unit have provided insights into the new console's design.

The Nintendo Switch 2 is rumored to feature an 8-inch display, larger Joy-Con controllers that attach magnetically, and enhanced internal specifications for improved performance.

Based on leaked images of the dock, the new console is likely to be named 'Nintendo Switch 2,' signaling a continuation of the brand.

Reflecting on the author's experience at E3 2011, the announcement of the Wii U was met with skepticism due to its confusing design and concept.

Current leaks suggest that the Nintendo Switch 2 will be a straightforward upgrade rather than a complete reinvention, focusing on refining existing features.

Gamers are expressing a desire for a polished successor to the original Switch, rather than another experimental concept akin to the Wii U.

The Wii U's failure to capture a significant audience compared to its predecessor, the Wii, has raised concerns about Nintendo's future direction.
