“We didn’t leak this.”
Yeah no shit bub.
Why are companies so awkward and dumb and “corporate”. Just lean into it and score some fan points.
“We know it can be fun to speculate and people are excited about whatever information they can get about the next Switch; but we’ve got a lot of amazing things we’re working on and it will be worth the wait”.
That also implies that there is more to get excited about. It’s entirely possible that the leaks have completely stolen the thunder of their big reveal.
I also suspect that when they say “not official”, what they really mean is “not final”. i.e. These are prototypes, and could change by the time it’s officially announced. They could also be contractually limited from statements, in a “we can neither confirm nor deny” kind of way.
I do agree with your larger point that their press release left something to be desired.
“Not official”
This just confirmed these are legit but because Nintendo didn’t make the announcement it’s “not official”
Anyone else feel like Nintendo is missing the boat here? Every day that goes by, the switch 2 becomes less exciting compared to the competition. They needed to release it 6 months ago.
Nintendo has never really cared about their competitors.
Or their fans - consequently.
Yeah but that’s because they historically have been so different than the competition. But in this case they have had their lunch eaten by the steam deck, Rog ally, etc.

I see tons of people still using the old Switch. I have so far seen none other than myself and my kid using a Steam Deck.
They wanted to release it 6 months ago, rumor has it. But they postponed it to shore up supply to meet launch demand, give extra development time to its key launch games, or to squeeze the last bit of juice out of the Switch 1 – or some combination of those things.
The Switch 2 will do just fine, better even, compared to its next closest competition.
…but also, not false…
No shit.
Every 5 years, chodes expect each new Nintendo console to be a copy + paste of the previous one.
It’s never happened.
- SNES
- Every handheld console except for the DS and Switch was a copypaste + upgrade from the last one. GB Pocket, GB Color, GB Advance, GBA SP, GBA Micro, DS Lite, 3DS, 2DS, New 3DS, 3DS XL
SNES was top loading with receding flaps. NES was front loading with a flap cover.
Must I point out all of the changes, or can you do some critical thinking before you argue?
This time it did.
