Nintendo: "You shouldn’t assume what you saw on the video represents actual Switch game footage"

This is 100% nonsense. Do you mean the game isn't signed to run on a retail console yet?If so, sure. Do you mean that Nintendo is using a 100% legimate retail console in this video? Because that is almost assuredly not the case. In fact I would not be surprised at all if all of the video shown in the ad is a playback of a pre-recorded video.

Nintendo could feasibily have made development/test kits by now that look almost identical to retail kits, and it would be very easy for Nintendo to make one look identical to one for the purposes of this ad. If this is a test kit in this ad, then it absolutely could run an unsigned version of this game.

The "consoles" used in the reveal trailer were dummy units, and the footage was pre-recorded and added in post production.

Actually this. Nothing that was shown on the screen was a live demonstration. It was added in post production. The system is probably not yet ready to show games running on it without issues.
