Nintendo “don’t like what’s happening” with Switch 2 leaks, former marketing lead suspects, but it won’t affect plans: “A lot of this is going to be in the rear-view mirror”

The Nintendo Switch 2 leaks, real or not, have been steadily ramping up in recent days. Speculation for the Big N’s next big console hybrid is at an all-time high as mock-ups have flooded the internet and tech show CES 2025 – though at least one accessory maker did backtrack and confirm its own mock-ups were based on online leaks. But one former Nintendo marketing lead speculates that the company won’t let internet rumblings affect its plans.

Nintendo of America’s former director of social media marketing and original content Kit Ellis – also one half of the much-loved and now-defunct Nintendo Minute YouTube series – gave his thoughts on the recent ongoings in a recent Patreon video.
