In a surprising breach of confidentiality, a Chinese factory worker has reportedly stolen a prototype of the highly anticipated Nintendo Switch 2 and shared a video of the device online. The footage, uploaded to the Chinese platform Bilibili, offers a detailed look at the hardware, though the unit appears to be a non-functional test model.

The video showcases the physical design of the prototype, including its larger screen and redesigned Joy-Con controllers. However, the device does not boot up, suggesting it lacks the necessary firmware or software to operate. This leak provides one of the most comprehensive views of the Switch 2 hardware to date, despite the absence of operational functionality.

Nintendo has not officially commented on the incident, but the company is known for its strict policies regarding leaks and unauthorized disclosures. The individual responsible for the leak could face significant legal consequences, as Nintendo has historically pursued legal action in similar cases.

This event adds to the growing anticipation surrounding the Nintendo Switch 2, which is expected to be officially announced before the end of the current fiscal year. As the gaming community eagerly awaits more information, this unauthorized reveal offers an unexpected glimpse into what Nintendo may have in store.
