Nintendo Dismisses Rumors of Switch 2 Reveal from Genki
Nintendo Denies Genki's Switch 2 Showcase Claims
Following the recent CES 2025 event, where accessory maker Genki displayed a purported 3D-printed Nintendo Switch 2 mockup, Nintendo has issued a statement clarifying the situation. Both CNET Japan and the Sankei newspaper reported Nintendo's confirmation that the images and videos presented by Genki are not official. The company explicitly stated that Genki did not receive the Switch 2 hardware from Nintendo.
Genki, an American manufacturer of electronics and gaming accessories (controllers, SSDs, chargers, etc.), generated significant buzz at CES 2025 by showcasing the 3D-printed model and claiming possession of a functional Switch 2 unit, even hinting at a release date. Their website even features a dedicated page for upcoming Switch 2 accessories, further fueling speculation.
This contradicts Nintendo's official stance. While Nintendo has confirmed plans to release the Switch 2 and mentioned backward compatibility with the original Switch, no concrete details regarding the console's design or release date have been officially announced. This discrepancy between Genki's claims and Nintendo's denial leaves the authenticity of Genki's presentation highly questionable, and increases anticipation for an official announcement from Nintendo.
