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


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

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

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

The product page shows an animation of what appears to be a CG render of its transluscent case, with a console inside it.

It appears, then, that Dbrand is claiming that the console inside is the successor to the Nintendo Switch.

While purported Switch 2 carry cases have been spotted on Chinese product websites in recent days, this is the first time a notable western peripheral manufacturer has posted an image of what it claims to be the console.

If the image is accurate, it would appear to confirm rumours that the Switch 2 will have an extra button on the right Joy-Con alongside the Home button (with the Capture button seemingly still on the left Joy-Con).

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

Last year it released a set of unofficial Zelda-themed Switch decals which say “go fuck yourself lawyers” in code on the Dock.

The website for the decals included a section titled “The Power of Plagiarism,” in which it criticised Nintendo’s decision to release a Zelda-themed console and said it had a cheaper alternative.

“You see, when one of the world’s most litigious companies announces a $359.99 price tag to replace your Switch with a limited edition variant, only Dbrand is up to the challenge of charging you slightly less for a ‘creative reinterpretation’ of their overpriced novelty console,” it said at the time.

The render of the Switch 2 Killswitch case also has a secret code, albeit aimed at the player this time instead Nintendo. Written as a series of hexadecimal numbers, when converted to text it reads “why are you decrypting this”.
