This news of an already delivered dev kit raises questions about the close ties between this anonymous developer and the Japanese company, and portends an imminent announcement from the console. If previous leaks from Nash Weedle are to be believed, it’s possible that this Spanish studio is MercurySteam, the team behind recent 2D entries in the Metroid series.

It was also mentioned that Nintendo’s new console will rival the power of PlayStation 4 and Xbox Onewhich will not surprise observers given Nintendo’s philosophy, which does not necessarily rely on peak graphics performance.
Despite all this tantalizing information, the successor to the Nintendo Switch still remains a mystery, in terms of design, user experience, format and transportability.
