Despite there being no mention of it at E3, there have been rumours for months now that Nintendo is working on two new models of Switch: a smaller, portable-only version and a new, slightly more powerful edition.

Theres never been any evidence of either but, if its not a fake, the above image may be the first evidence that the Switch Mini is real.

Its purportedly a silicon glove for what the box describes as a Mini Switch, but other than company Big Ben being a legit third party peripheral seller theres little more that can be discerned from the photo.

The source is German website WinFuture, which names only a reliable source as an explanation of where the image came from.

The second, rendered, image is obviously taken from the front of the box but its a much higher resolution than the box photo, so whether its a separate leak or something the source created themselves were not sure.
