Given the lack of noticeable aliasing in this trailer I wouldn't be surprised if this footage is being run off Switch 2 hardware. Things to my eye look significantly sharper than what we've been getting from the switch.

This looks about comparable to the remaster from earlier, which looked incredible for a Switch game. The trailer looked nice but definitely not what we would expect from something on the level of a PS4. I don't see a reason to doubt that the footage was the game running on Switch.

But the fact that people are debating if this is Switch 2 footage speaks volumes about Retro Studio's skill. Jaw-dropping graphics for a Switch game.

Digital Foundry made a pretty convincing case that it's running on current switch hardware: https://www.ign.com/articles/was-metroid-prime-4-running-on-switch-2. That being said, a cross-generation release wouldn't be out of character for Nintendo.
