Former Switch marketing lead says "as wild as these leaks are Nintendo is going to stick to their plan," not budging on Switch 2 date "no matter what"

Nintendo still hasn't announced the Switch 2 – but you wouldn't think that was the case if you've spent any time on social media in the last couple of days. As tech event CES 2025 continues, videos and images have emerged of alleged mock-up console designs from accessory maker Genki, which claims to have molded them after the real deal. 

If it's to be believed, we might have been given our first proper glimpse of what the console will look like, but is that going to push Nintendo into getting its official reveal out sooner than planned? Two former marketing leads at the company don't think so. Krysta Yang, former senior manager of creator relations and original content, and leader of the Switch launch campaign, has spoken out about the situation on Twitter, and is convinced that Nintendo is "not budging" from whatever announcement date it has planned out.
