Mystery Product Code Sparks Rumours Of A New Switch 2 Model - Nintendo Life
A curious product code on Nintendo’s official website has reignited chatter around the Switch 2. The code in question, 'OSM', was spotted by Bluesky user dootsky on the Nintendo Account Portal, where requesting 'OSM' reportedly returns an image of the Switch 2. Community posts on ResetEra suggest that other codes return errors, making 'OSM' a notable outlier.
Before jumping to conclusions about a new model, there’s important context. Previous Switch hardware lines used concise codes like HAE, HAD, HDH, and HEG. The Switch 2 itself is identified as 'BEE'. By comparison, 'OSM' doesn’t match these patterns, indicating it may be tied to something else—such as an internal asset, a portal placeholder, a backend category, or even a non-hardware listing.
Timing is another factor. As of 16 January, it’s one year since Nintendo officially revealed the Switch 2, making a fresh hardware revision this soon feel unlikely.
Bottom line: 'OSM' clearly links to something on Nintendo’s side, but there’s no solid evidence it signals a new Switch 2 model. Treat it as an intriguing breadcrumb rather than confirmation.
What’s your take—could 'OSM' point to an accessory, a region-specific entry, or just a test stub?
