Its not true because its not a Switch.

Either way I think this is now a non story, meaning its probably outdated kit that for an upgrade that was cancelled.⁶

Look at how carefully worded that response from Nintendo is. Its hard to imagine all 11 sources being wrong.

There's years of planning for hardware releases, you don't simply cancel them.

Fyi Takashi Mochizuki was the same person who reported dev kits going out for the NX (Nintendo Switch) in 2015.

"The exact shape of the NX hardware isn't yet clear. People familiar with the development plans said Nintendo would likely include both a console and at least one mobile unit that could either be used in conjunction with the console or taken on the road for separate use. They also said Nintendo would aim to put industry-leading chips in the NX devices, after criticism that the Wii U's capabilities didn't match those of competitors. "

yeah thats what I mean, Nintendo can say its false because its not a SKU but different console altogether. Or some caveat of that sort. 

I still see it as a non story though because without further elaboration it could be a cancelled upgrade and thus old news. If the teams just received it however that would be a different story
