It makes sense as publicity. Personally I wasn't aware this brand even existing until now. I bet I'm not the only one.

I think a lot of companies are assuming they know what the succesor of the Switch is based on the leaks. But as I said in a previous post, until Nintendo shows something, it's all speculation and rumors.

It can also be that Nintendo gave fake prototypes to companies to find out which one is leaking information.

Nintendo could reveal anything, it could be completely different from the Switch (which would be hilarious). I remember the NX times when leaks were coming out here and there, and they were absolutely ridiculous compared to what the Switch actually is. It's more about being first than being right these days with information 🤷‍♂️

It's possible. Genki isn't an unknown brand, but the amount of publicity to be one of the first to release information about Switch isn't small either.

Heh, yeah, actual reveal could be anything. I am trying to stay away from leaks though, so even though I have glimpsed at some pictures, I am not reading any details.

I've been avoiding paying too much attention to leaks too, but I think we're not really missing out. They all seem to be "It's a bigger, more powerful Switch".

[–] slimerancher 4 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Yeah, and people seem to be complaining about being underwhelmed with it, while I remember previously everyone was saying Nintendo should just give us a more power Switch, instead of trying to add another gimmick. Why are they not happy to finally get what they want?

I could be reading wrong people, or maybe it's just minority, but saw a few comments along these lines.

I've seen this too, some people will never be happy, whether they get what they asked for or the complete opposite... 😅
