Not a lot of information is known about Nintendo's upcoming gaming console, the Nintendo Switch. Apart from its basic hybrid feature, all other elements have come from insiders and not Nintendo itself, and the latest leak is no different.

According to Engadget, the Nintendo Switch will apparently leave out the option of replaceable batteries. The publication notes that a recent FCC filing ultimately reveals that the console will come with a non-removable battery, unlike the company's previous Wii U.

The Nintendo Wii U, as the media outlet points out, was criticized for its short battery life. The Japanese gaming company was able to come up with a quick fix for it by releasing a new battery pack. But since the Nintendo Switch will not have a removable battery, players will not have the choice to replace it with a much better one if it turns out to be unsatisfactory.

Other leaks have revealed that the upcoming console will have an NVIDIA chipset incorporated under the hood, but it will not be one of the latest processors from the company. In fact, the chip on the Nintendo Switch will be so old and outdated that Sony's PlayStation 4 remains the better out of the two when it comes to power. The Switch will have the Maxwell architecture instead of the Pascal one, and this is apparently because the company wants to release the device as soon as possible.

Another insider named Laura Kate Dale took to Reddit to conduct an AMA, or Ask Me Anything, and a lot of users raised questions about the upcoming hybrid console. During the session, Dale revealed that the Nintendo Switch will be region-free and is, so far, sticking to its scheduled launch date on March 17. There will also be additional docks for sale after the launch, but they will apparently be priced affordably. 

Dale is a well-known tech insider and is not new to the leaking game. However, since Nintendo has yet to confirm most of these, readers are advised to take this with a grain of salt.
