Leaked Nintendo Switch 2 Start-Up Screen Brings Back the Joy-Con Click with a Fun New Twist

The start-up screen for the Nintendo Switch 2 has leaked online just days before its official release, and fans are already talking about it.

The video, shared by X user @Stealth40k, shows what happens when you turn on the new console. And yes, the famous Joy-Con click is still there.

This time, though, the familiar sound is joined by a cheerful little tune and a bunch of playful beeps and boops that feel like something out of a Star Wars droid party. It’s fun, it’s loud, and it definitely makes an impression.

The screen itself is colorful and the icons pop, keeping the same easygoing look from the first Switch but adding a bit more energy.

While Nintendo is known for memorable start-up screens, the Nintendo 64’s logo or the GameCube’s bouncey intro come to mind, this one seems to carry on the tradition without trying too hard to be different. It might not define the whole next generation, but it’s a fun way to kick things off.

Whether you’re a fan of sleek design or just here for the nostalgia, this leaked start-up screen is a small but exciting look at what’s coming next from Nintendo.
