The first Switch may be one of Nintendo’s most successful consoles of all time, but from a marketing perspective, portable consoles can be a nightmare. A year after the Switch’s lifespan, the console’s first emulator was released, and the floodgates were opened due to copyright infringement. From there, Nintendo controlled the product’s message when it was released. Like a marquee game The Legend of Zelda: The Kingdom’s Tears It leaked a few weeks ago. Nintendo acted quickly to crush the evidence, but the Japanese company couldn’t prevent the entire leak.
However, Nintendo was ready for the Switch 2 release.
As we speak, retailers around the world are receiving two Switch shares in anticipation of the June 5th launch. Images of the backroom with switch 2 boxes are on the internet, with at least one retailer locking the Switch 2 stock open to allow regular customers to see it.
Naturally, this means that future consoles have fallen into the hands of ordinary people. In late May, the circulatory system began to circulate mainly through the Internet.

According to the Pew Research Center, 79% of households have broadband internet. This means that millions of people may not be able to get two switches out of the box. This issue can be short-lived as updates may be preloaded in future console releases, but in the launch window, a one-day patch should be considered for some consumers. Nintendo did not immediately respond to requests for comment.

If for any reason the game starts leaking, the impact will be minimized. Most games available at release are already out in some way or are not focused on the story.
