Nintendo is "really mad" to "the most severe level" about the Switch 2 leaks, say former PR managers: "They are very, very, very upset" (www.gamesradar.com)

This article is based on speculation by two NOA former employees. While they do have context and knowledge (and I personally listen to the podcast), they left the company 2 years ago. Their videos have click-baity titles since that's the YouTube game, but the article title is even worse. We can assume they're mad. But there's still a chance the successor to the Switch is nothing like what's been "leaked" and they're laughing their asses off behind the scenes.

Upvote for going beyond the headline and for TLDRing for the lazies.

Gotta say, if someone is gonna suffer for this is whoever has to do stuff pre-release next time. Nintendo didn't use to be the most rabid pre-release security guys (Microsoft got pretty absurd there for a while), but I guarantee the New Nintendo Switch 2 U or whatever is going to be shown to third party engineers by kidnapping them in the middle of the night and flying them to an undisclosed black site.

Ah, Kit and Krysta, used to listen to them regularly (when I used to listen to podcasts).

Well, the video name is " The Reactions Inside Nintendo As Switch 2 Leaked " and the article mentions that they "speculate", and they are "100% sure", both of which means no actual insider knowledge.

That being said, which company won't be "really mad" to "the most severe level" for leak of their most anticipated product?
