As of the moment no one has yet have the Nintendo Switch at hand outside of Nintendo company, but recently a popular YouTuber Etika of Etika World Network channel came on to scrutiny after he uploaded two separate videos of making his very own Nintendo Switch.
According to Polygon, Etika's first video was a live stream showing a device resemblance on the Nintendo Switch but has been taken offline after the weekend airing. It created a social media confusion making almost everyone frustrated.
Nintendo fans were all furious some out of jealousy and some are furious because they have seen it before. It is not the real Nintendo Switch, the console's subreddit exclaimed. Though some of the fans are not sure if those held by Etika was fake or not.
However, many fans are pushing back that Etika's Nintendo Switch was fake. It wasreally clear that it's fake because Nintendo still have not announced a release date for Nintendo Switch and won't even give details on the launch until Jan. 2017 in a press conference to be held at Tokyo.
The second video uploaded by Etika was an attempt to turn non-believers to believers with the effort of showing in the video the life with a Nintendo Switch. He also supported it with a video uploaded after this with the Swedish designer Frank Sandqvist.
At Etika's request, the Swedish designer Sandqvist created a seven-minute video in his YouTube channel detailing how he used 3D printing, sanding, laser-cutting and other methods but very fake in the output. Etika confirmed in his Twitter account that he and Sandvist together worked for the video on "Life with Nintendo Switch" and this just proved that the Switch was 3D printed.

Sandvist is responsible for the alleged Nintendo NX prototype surfaced by Etika. So Sandqvist's name is not new to everyone in the Nintendo world. The Nintendo NX prototype was an elaborate, 3d printed fake.
Nintendo will show off the Nintendo Switch by January and March and that's really not that a long time from now. Let us know on your comments on this news at the comment section.
