Nintendo CEO Denies Switch 2 Rumors and Patent Speculations

Nintendo president Shuntaro Furukawa has challenged recent rumors about the "Switch 2," stating that the claims are not accurate. He specifically addressed rumors that the successor console was showcased at Gamescom and that it could run games at 4K 60fps. Furukawa also commented on the company's dual-screen patent, clarifying that applying for a patent does not necessarily mean it will be implemented in future products. While it's common for companies to deny rumors, some speculate that Nintendo's denial may be an attempt to protect current Switch sales during the holiday season.
