Nintendo Switch 2 console reveal was based on leaks and not real system

On the 8th of January, a supposed prototype of the Nintendo Switch 2, equipped with Joy-Cons, surfaced on Twitter/X. This sneak peek was shared by Genki, a third-party accessory manufacturer who labeled it as mockups. As reported by Numerama, these Genki reps claimed that the Switch 2 is slated for release in April and that they’re not breaching any agreements by unveiling this early. In other words, it seems like we might be getting our hands on the Nintendo Switch 2 sooner than we thought!
