Yet another user has obtained a Nintendo Switch 2 well before its launch date and posted a video showing the new console’s setup process.
On Wednesday, a Russian YouTube user posted a video showing the initial boot process forSwitch2, as well as an extensive tour of its system menus.
As noted by other users who’ve obtained Switch 2 early, the console can’t do much more at this point, since it requires a mandatory system update to boot games.
Today’s video shows some proof of this, with a message prompting a system update when attempting to access theNintendoeShop, but no system update being available.
The video is the latest in a flurry of leaks, as people around the world start to get their hands onNintendo Switch 2consoles well ahead of its official June 5 launch date.
Earlier on Wednesday,a video showing someone turning on the Nintendo Switch 2for the first time appeared online.
And earlier this week, a brief video of somebody unboxing Switch 2 appeared on social media, along with the first notice that it requiresa mandatory updatein order to boot games.
It’s just over one week until the Switch 2’s global launch day. In the UK and Ireland, toy retailer Smyths has confirmed that it plans tohold midnight launches for the system in all of its stores.
