Nintendo Breaks Its Silence On Recent Switch 2 Leaks

Nintendo's next console, the apparent Switch 2, is the talk of the town in Las Vegas for the Consumer Electronics Show this week due in part to the peripheral company Genki claiming to know what Nintendo is cooking up. Now, for the first time, Nintendo has broken its silence and commented on the leaks.

A spokesperson told Japanese newspaper The Sankei Shimbun (translated by Automaton) that the images and videos from CES are "not official." A spokesperson told CNET Japan (translated by Automaton), "The gaming hardware that Genki claims to be Nintendo hardware at CES is official and was not provided to the company by Nintendo."

At CES, Genki created a mockup of the Switch 2 that it claimed was based on a real Switch 2 console that it saw, going on to say the company was surprised by the media attention.
