Spanish leaker who leaked Metroid Dread for Switch prior to its announcement is now saying a "Spanish-based studio" has received Switch 2 dev kits.

The thing is looking at this guy's background (he's from Spain) and the fact that Mercury Steam (developer of Metroid Dread) is based in Spain ... the studio he's likely getting these leaks from is almost definitely Mercury Steam (unless he randomly guessed Metroid Dread, a cancelled project from 18 years prior being the Switch's 2D Metroid, in which case I'd suggest the guy buy a lottery ticket with that kind of luck). Also lines up with Euro-studios generally being the source for a lot of leaks.
The guy/gal states this:
"The Switch 2 development kit has arrived in Spain.
The fact that a Spanish studio already has the kit, given Nintendo's secrecy policy, is a boost in their relations and indicates that we are in the last stages before the console's presentation."
A spanish video liked by NWeedle says how "they are using the pro controller with the devkit, not the controllers because they do not want it to leak under any circumstances".
The second bit there may indicate there is something (new?) about the controller design that Nintendo does not want to leak out.
