Nintendo’s president has shot down reports of newSwitch 2hardware having been demoed earlier this year.

In a press conference earlier today, November 9, Nintendo president Shuntaro Furukawa directly addressed reports that Nintendo had briefed developers on new hardware earlier this year. As reported by theMainichi Shimbun, Furukawa reported labelled the reports “inaccurate” and “untrue” during the press conference.

Additionally, Furukawa also commented on a recent Nintendo patent application. last month in October, the company submitted a patent for a device with two screens (thanks,GameRant), but Furukawa said in the press conference that the patent application was filed with the knowledge that the public would uncover it, and isn’t indicative of any console plans.
