Nintendo Accidentally Reveals Switch Developer Menu

Nintendo Switch won’t be out for another month, but thanks to a trailer screw-up this morning, we can already see what the devkits look like. If you’ve ever wanted to see what developers get to see when they work with pre-release hardware, now’s your chance.

There isn’t much we can learn from the menus, other then the fact that Switch devkits have 64GB of space (as opposed to retail units, which have 32GB). But it’s still fun to see.

Here’s the US version of the commercial, if you’re curious:
