Have you ever found yourself caught up in the whirlwind of gaming rumors? It’s like a game of telephone, where whispers turn into wild stories. Well, grab your popcorn because Nintendo just stepped into the spotlight to address some juicy claims surrounding the Switch 2.
Recently, accessory maker Genki stirred things up at CES in Las Vegas with images and assertions about what it claims is an accurate replica of Nintendo’s next console. They even hinted at having a final unit on hand! If that sounds like something out of a sci-fi movie, you’re not alone in thinking that.
Nintendo decided to respond to these swirling speculations through the Japanese publication Sankei, stating quite clearly, “These images and videos are not official.” Now, that’s a phrase we don’t hear from them often! Perhaps the overwhelming number of leaked images compelled them to speak up this time.
If you’ve been keeping tabs on this saga, you might recall last week when alleged images of Switch 2’s Joy-Cons hit social media. If those pictures are real (and that’s still a big if), they suggest that the new Joy-Cons could be slightly larger and sport a magnetic connection, how fancy!
This week got even spicier when a tech leaker known for accurate renders shared what they claim is the most precise look yet at Nintendo’s upcoming console. Honestly, if it’s anything like how they’ve portrayed it so far, I can’t help but feel excited about what’s cooking behind closed doors!
