Nintendo responded to the rumors by saying it’s not official, following Switch 2 image and video leaks. The new console will be introduced this year.
Nintendo revealed during CES 2025 Switch 2 broke his silence regarding image and video leaks. In its statement to Japan-based Sankei, the company stated that these images spread at the technology fair in the USA were “unofficial”. However, Nintendo’s statement attracted attention by not completely denying the accuracy of the leaks. It is stated that the company will officially introduce its new generation console this fiscal year.
What Do Nintendo Switch 2 Leaks Include?
Rumors about the Switch 2 started at CES 2025, when a model created by a 3D printer by Genki, a peripheral manufacturer, went viral. Genki also exhibited animated renders and new controller designs on this model. This led other accessory manufacturers to share their products and tips for Switch 2.
According to leaks, the design of the Switch 2 is quite similar to the original model. However, Nintendo said these leaks were “unofficial” and emphasized that the details were not yet clear. This attracted the attention of players who wanted to get more information about the design and features of the console.
According to Nintendo’s official statement, the announcement of Switch 2 will be made this fiscal year. However, the company seems to stick to its promotional schedule despite the leaks. The fact that the leaks attracted great attention has already created a wave of curiosity for Nintendo’s new console.
With the official launch of Switch 2, details such as the console’s hardware features, price and game list are expected to be announced. In this process, it is estimated that Nintendo will turn the interest created by leaks to its advantage.
As in the past, Nintendo aims to attract attention in the gaming world once again with its new console. However, these leaks before the official announcement have already raised expectations among players.
