Its a joke on Nintendo since they have a reputation on shutting down anything infringing on their IP. The story started from FB as a meme but is partially true on a kid that created a Switch with carboard.
a young boy from Thailand dreamed about having a Nintendo switch. Due to not having good financial conditions, he fabricated his own using cardboard and markers. His father, moved, filmed him and posted the video on social media. After going viral, it got to the eyes of Nintendo's CEO, who went to Thailand personally and sued the boy for 2.5 million dollars for copyright infringement.
