For a week or so, various Nintendo Switch 2 leaks, fake models, and release window rumors have been floating around the internet like the insides of a water-soaked Willy Wellington (that's a pair of Wellington boots, not British), Nintendo is finally on board with at least some of them.
No, it's not that it thinks it's a little weird that you go to your local tarot card reader to try to figure out when the console will be revealed, but it's still a little weird.

Instead, Ninty addressed the concerns that accessory maker Genki showed off the Switch 2 model at CES, exceeding its expectations. To be fair, you can't always tell when people are going to get really, really excited about looking at a plastic box and trying to figure out how many extra USB ports have been added to it.
Nintendo has released a statement about the models to CNET, Automaton reports. “The gaming hardware Genki presented as Nintendo hardware at CES was unofficial and not provided by us to the company,” the statement said.
But that's not all, as the apparently very wordy company also told the Sankei Shimbun that alleged images and videos of the Switch 2 that have been circulating online recently are “not official.” Phwoar, don't write us an article about Nintendo.
So, that's it. Nintendo has responded. The silence was broken. At least all the leaks are gone and people will be wondering where Nintendo's own take on the topic is, like the Vincent Vega shrugging GIF, instead of just quietly doing it for the Switch 2 reveal Be prepared, which will almost certainly happen at some point between now and the end. time.
To be fair, I understand all the small talk. I also really want to escape a giant shark on a jet ski through something related to the number 2.
