After years of intense leaks, Nintendo's got the Switch 2 launch on lockdown
Briefly

While the original Nintendo Switch achieved significant success, it faced serious challenges from piracy, particularly with the emergence of emulators that allowed games to be leaked prior to their official release. In preparation for the Switch 2 launch on June 5th, retailers are receiving stock, and videos of the new console are circulating, prompting Nintendo to employ anti-piracy strategies. However, the console will require an internet connection for initial use, potentially leaving millions unable to play at launch due to lack of access to broadband.
The first Switch's success was marred by piracy issues, but Nintendo is taking measures to prepare for the Switch 2 launch amid ongoing leaks.
Despite Nintendo's swift actions to manage leaks and anti-piracy measures, the upcoming Switch 2 faces its own unique challenges, including necessary updates at launch.
