That’s makes sense but some people do wear watches over their sweaters if they don’t want the watch touching the skin perhaps ? But you’re right that is weird.
If he really works like what's in the picture this is normal. You need your clothes to not move to stop dust, static, etc. But I think it's AI except for the device itself.
@@g2a5b0e I mean, yeah it's going to still sell. it's just my switch is struggling and has been struggling from day one with some games. it's just i was hoping for something current at least not like the already outdated tegra. and at the rate other handheld pc's are progressing i just don't nintendo to wait too long to release it. i'll still buy one because i like nintendo games. i know one thing though. if that eshop is as sluggish and filled with some much shovelware, i'm sticking to phyical media.
@@sparkz1554 If you were hoping for something current, that was your first mistake. Nintendo hasn't done anything on the same power level as their competitors since the GameCube.
The fact that the + symbol and the Nintendo logo aren't centered is what gave it away for me. Nintendo are perfectionists; they'd never not-center texts or buttons.
Guy pops up out of nowhere with an account called "next handheld", waits for real leaks to proceed with "carving up" a few realistic looking "switch 2" props, so that he can ride the coattails of real leaks
The strangest thing for me is the kick stands. They are way shorter than the recess for them and they would have the unit almost lying flat making them almost pointless.
For the first photo, it is also very strange there is a Nintendo logo INSIDE where the Joycon would cover. At most you need only one Nintendo logo TOTAL in the entire system, and that would be on the back, not where it would be covered.
I’m amused that RGT’s two main videos categories are (1) spreading Switch 2 rumors and (2) complaining about Switch 2 rumors. But nice win for the Knicks yesterday! What more could a guy want for Christmas.
@ it was in response to him saying “I don’t know why the plus would be there” and he said at first he thought the first pic was the dock…needed my Captain Obvious services
The plus isn't centered, neither is the Nintendo logo. They both are placed too close to the ridge above it. Also, the hand holding it is fake, the fingers give it away. I wish it was real but it's not. IMHO the dock pick is also fake. The top left corner of the dock has a thin white outline around it giving it a weird glow, the white outline color clearly doesn't match the color of the surface it's on. As a side note I think the dock kinda looks like a fusion of the front of an NES cartridge and a Super Famicom cartridge orientated on their sides.
@@killscreen7519 I’m just here for the ride, fake or not this stuff is really exciting and I can’t wait to see the official reveal in the coming weeks!
Jesus, the amount of “switch 2 leak” videos on the internet is absolutely crazy. How long can this “switch 2 leak success train” go? Idk, but it’s still going!
You can see it’s AI assisted generation images. Why would the leaker not show a full sized image of the front but blurry or perfectly angled side shots…
That looks like the left side of the console's screen. Unless Nintendo swaps the + and - buttons for the Switch 2, I give this a 99% fake rating. The hand looks a bit off as well...
It's mirrored. But still it looks as though it's a workshop and I believe they made it themselves, hence why the watch was over the sleeve to keep it out of the way
It's making me think that the plus and minus buttons, releases the joycons from the tablet and the extra c button is actually a capture button for taking screenshots or some other function.
On the new Joy-Cons (allegedly) there are bottoms on the back to release them from the system, and there's already a capture button on the left one, so the C button on the right likely has a different function.
I wonder what in the world will happen if nothing is announced right at the beginning of March? My Christmas was awful and family dividing for me. I guess I cannot when them all.
Getting tiring of rumors on social media until Nintendo gives real news and reveal can't believe rumors back growing up in late 80s and 90s video game news was in magazine or TV switch 2 will be out soon just be patient
Clearly the watch is over the sweater to prevent the sleeve from shifting, revealing their tattoos which both implicate them as yakuza and provide a way for Nintendo's ninjas to identify the poster. /s
He wore the watch to throw off the Nintendo ninjas that were trying to figure out his identity. They will undoubtedly be searching for someone who wears that make and model of watch. That watch has more than likely been destroyed.
What got me was the plus on the first image. This pic is showing the left side of the switch. The plus symbol is on the right side of the switch. Thus, the chance that is fake is very high😊
The right edge of the sweater on the right side of the watch, is whiter, like worn out. He had to be wearing this watch over this sweater for a looooong time, to have it get worn out THIS much. Also the wrinkles from such a tightly wrapped watch should be bigger. It looks like this watch was there for MONTHS...and it's not. Also, look at the holes on the band, they're not centered. The TOP holes are closer to the right edge of the band. Do you think a manufacturer would make such a stupid mistake? Even a watch from AliExpress won't be THIS badly made. Also, the last 2 fingers on the bottom...what is happening there? They look like a mess. I can't see the nail on the upper finger and the bottom finger has black part?! They look so...smudged...you can't quite figure out what is happening there. And we know AI has a very hard time with hands, still. I've been using MidJourney for the past 2 years, I've seen tens of thousands of AI images. What AI usually does is faking stuff, but when you look closer, you can't tell what is what. This looks like a factory or something, but when you look closer...you can't discern ANYTHING and the whole place doesn't make sense. What is this factory for?! No tools and equipment make sense and you also can't discern absolutely NOTHING...except...cables, tables, shelfs...but that's a part of the illusion. If you can recognize even ONE item or tool or equipment, please, tell me. I'm calling this AI generated and maybe edited in PS to make the Switch 2 design align with the other "leaks" so it looks more legit. I'll download this image from twitter and look more closely, but it's AI.
The background looks like a greenscreen/fake image. They may have also used AI to combine the arm/hand, plus device, over background. Either way it doesn’t show us anything useful.
No obvious mechanism to secure the Joycon controller. I doubt Nintendo would depend on magnetism alone to keep it from coming apart during intense gaming sessions.
one of the most interesting rumors being, that it´s supposed to use hall joysticks. which is odd that no modern console don´t use for some reason, because from my understanding those don´t go bad, which the one used in all modern do. from what i get they all use the same tech. switch ps4 ps5 the xbox console. but mainly switch that got the biggest issues.
My Switch 2 predictions ....it would probably come with an NVIDIA gpu that was beefed up but not to a crazy level, 128GB of internal storage, 7inch screen LED , one cartridge slot perhaps two, joycons a bit bigger a real 2d pad and 12GB of RAM
Only the very front of the console looks real... I think they made that front indented panel and it was photoshopped on the AI background. The hand is pretty obvious AI as well... Look at not only the placement over a sleeve, but also the misaligned and off center holes.
I’m in no rush to move on to the Switch 2. The original needs a longer lifespan and more triple A game releases. On another note, Jack in the Box tacos are the best
People are saying that the background is Ai but the hand/console is "real" on the image. Maybe to protect the identity even more of the supposed "leaker"
It’s funny that people are analyzing the smallest stuff; and people milk the info. In the end, Nintendo will just throw a curve ball; and launch a system no one was expecting.
I believe the arm is real and its holding a badly faked switch 2. The ai generated background is glaringly obvious if you've spent any time at all playing with the image generators.
I feel like this contradicts a lot of things. The Joy-Con on the 3D printed models do not look like it would fit in that. And again why the weird pictures if you have the switch why don't you just show it?
Obviously I can't say with 100% certainty but I have to lean heavily toward this being fake. It just doesn't look like something designed by Nintendo, aesthetically. Also, if someone was leaking something, why would they put their own hand in the picture?
Dude I don’t understand why you are at all suspicious? It is very intuitive to me. The plush matches up with the plus in the top right of the controller so it’s clear which joycon fits on what side? And the indent in the middle is the joycon lock and pins.
I find all the rumored hardware leaks fun and take it with a grain of salt. I am more interested in leaks for the OS software or games, that matters more at the end of the day.
This is 100% fake, and I can tell from one simple mistake- the number. Nintendo has *never* numbered their consoles with close successors. We didn’t get the NES 2, Wii 2, Gameboy 2, or DS 2, we got the SNES, Wii U, Gameboy Advanced, and 3DS. Calling it the Switch 2 pre launch is fine. Putting it on the dock though? You’re telling me thats what Nintendo is officially going with? Nah they fucked up, everything they’ve shown is complete BS.
There is nothing that what is really is especially the first image. Why show that particular side of the device? However we will know when Nintendo reveals the Switch 2 in the future.
Once all this BS is over, after several years listening to Nintendo’s new console leaks, we will have learn a powerful lesson, and that is not to trust anybody aside official sources. It’s going to be a big fraking LOL when everything leaked proof to be fake!
Every time I see “The Switch 2 Situation” I take a shot. I am now passed out under a table, thanks.
I still haven't sobered up from the Switch Pro leaks
😂 😂 😂
how did I end up naked
You can still type so we need more situations
How the heck DID you end up naked…? 😂
No normal person wears a watch over their sweater, I'm with you on that. It does make my even more suspicious of the photo.
Freak for sure 😂
People actually do this. Mostly "Nerdy" people, so for me its makes it more reliable..
No normal person would provoke Nintendo either.

By the time nintendo releases the console it's going to be outdated technology again.
And? The Switch is the 3rd best selling console of all time & that was the case from day one. Clearly, it doesn't matter much.
@@g2a5b0e Not much chance the Switch 2 sells as well though~especially if it basically looks exactly the same...
@@griffredux9966 I don't think it will either, but I also don't think it matters. It doesn't need to move 150M units to be considered a success.

I don't get excited over Switch 2 rumors. I figure I'll find out whenever they go to reveal it. Why care until we have concrete information?
People tired of the switch 2 conversation still clicking on the video to complain 🤣
Yes and ...😂
😂😂😂😭
It’s been out of control for what 5-6 years now!? Nothing new about that!!
The original post made it sound like this would be so indisputable they'd need to flee the country. And that's it?
There goes my hopes and dreams of the next Switch being called the Super Switch and not the mundane Switch 2.
Not only mundane but dumb & Sony-cloning
Even though this leak is fake they’re definitely not calling it the super switch
@@place_holdingwhy not? The super switch would be the best name for it.

It's absolutely real. He also posted the dock a few hours later and logo. Everything is totally Nintendo.
The strangest thing for me is the kick stands. They are way shorter than the recess for them and they would have the unit almost lying flat making them almost pointless.
A thing to note here this picture is flipped 2:50 because plus is on the right side of the console we are looking at left side
as far as the watch, people who are allergic to the metal pieces, put their watch over their sweater
For the first photo, it is also very strange there is a Nintendo logo INSIDE where the Joycon would cover. At most you need only one Nintendo logo TOTAL in the entire system, and that would be on the back, not where it would be covered.

The Plus being there is to avoid people putting the joycon on upside down

Merry Boxing Day!
Is that another Canuck out there?
Likely, yeah.
The Switch 2 will be the most underwhelming console launch in history..
Watch over sweater is just a trend from 2025 too, where this future traveller dork came back from just to get a switch 2. Happy Christmas!
Clearly the watch is over the sweater to prevent the sleeve from shifting, revealing their tattoos which both implicate them as yakuza and provide a way for Nintendo's ninjas to identify the poster. /s
It looks close enough that it could be similar, but something feels off. Like maybe this is an early demo unit or developer version.
It's fun to speculate about S2 :) The best part is that we'll know for sure pretty soon. Good time to be a Nintendo fan!
Why do I have a feeling that the dock looks that way because it's a prototype?
Happy Holidays!

How would you close the kick stand with those bits of plastic on the bottom that are the same width as the thickness of the system...

Command & Conquer music in the background is noice.

I know it's coming out eventually, but I wish it wouldn't, I would LOVE to see gamers lose their minds over not getting a new toy to play with
Until we get any official information from Nintendo it's all speculation and rumors
Great detective work sir
I’m in no rush to move on to the Switch 2. The original needs a longer lifespan and more triple A game releases. On another note, Jack in the Box tacos are the best
I just saw a rumor where RGT will be a Switch 2 Smash Bros. Character. It is out of hand. In a leaked trailer, RGT dunk moves on Wemby.
We've seen how publishers react when something is leaked, and when it comes to hardware they REALLY don't want things leaked.
I think we’re getting switch2 sooner than we think 🤗
When Doctre81 is handing out seats, you know that leaker’s full of garbage.
This seems as real as recent Silksong news updates

All of that hardware looks old like 1990s old
With these leaks makes me think that it's an inside Nintendo job
if the person is still alive it isn’t real.
It is more likely to be 3D printed rather than an AI photo.

A good thoery maybe the + sign is a joycon hidden in side the switch 2 when you dont use it.
