There’s been a lot of talk about theNintendo Switch 2recently, not least because it’s been put back until spring next year (or so we believe). However, there’s been relatively little about its design – what the new hybrid console might actually look like.
We understand that it’ll have a larger 8-inch display, but that’s about it for now. We don’t really know whether it’ll be similar to the existing Switch and Switch OLED, or have a number of key changes.

Solid, robust and seemingly made from cast aluminium, the XP-1 has all the right controls but presented with an industrial slant.
There’s a volume dial rather than a rocker too, which is neat. It’s certainly retro in look and there are plenty of nods to Teenage Engineering’s audio products, such as its TP-7 Field Recorder and theEP–133 K.O.sampler/sequencer.

Sadly, the likelihood of the Nintendo Switch 2 looking like Suresh’s XP-1 concept are very slim. It’ll probably be brightly coloured plastic and rounded (like a Switch, basically), but we can dream.
