Nintendo Registers 4 EU Designs for Possible Switch 2 Hardware
2 articles · Updated · Notebookcheck.net · Jun 3
Summary
Four confidential EUIPO design filings dated May 29 point to potential Nintendo hardware, with records suggesting a Switch 2 variant, controller or accessory lineup rather than a single product.
The numbered filings — 015143440-0001 through -0004 — imply multiple SKUs, which could mean color variants or several related devices protected under one design push.
Nintendo Patents Watch said similar registrations previously surfaced before accessories including the Joy-Con 2 Charging Grip, LABO Vehicle and VR Kits, and a canceled Alarmo iteration.
The filings add to signs of incoming hardware after Nintendo reported higher R&D spending, while earlier leaks hinted at a new product code tied to a possible Switch 2 Lite or OLED model.
Broader pressure also surrounds repairability: Nintendo was reported in March to be adjusting Switch 2 battery access to meet EU right-to-repair expectations.
