Nintendo responded to a question about 'Switch 2' leaks at CES 2025 this week.
Speaking with Japanese outlet SankeiA company representative mentioned that the release of images and video at the US Consumer Electronics Show was “not official” – here's a rough translation:
The gaming peripherals maker unveiled at the US Consumer Electronics Show a successor model to the Nintendo Switch, the home video game console that Nintendo plans to announce later this fiscal year. In response to the spread of images and videos, Nintendo commented on the 9th that it was “not official”.
It might not seem like much of an answer, but Nintendo doesn't always comment on things like this.
Peripherals maker Genki started the leak earlier this week at CES – when its 3D printed 'Switch 2' model went viral. However, the manufacturer's website shows full 3D models of the alleged system and controller.
Various other accessory makers have followed this up with looks at their new products for the Switch's “successor”, while also seemingly showing off the system itself.
Kinda Funny host Imran Khan has he got involved in all the leaks and rumours this week, claiming that Nintendo's plans for the Switch's “successor” regarding the announcement and reveal “have not changed.”
Nintendo's “official” announcement of the Switch's “successor” should take place in the current fiscal year.
