It’s been an interesting week for leaks Switch 2. As part of CES 2025, Genki, a company focused on making accessories, revealed a lot of information regarding the next Nintendo console. Many were surprised to see a hardware shell that, according to attendees, was built using a real Switch 2. however, Genki reveals that this is not the case and that his accessories were created using previously leaked information.
Given all the leaks this week, Gamespark He contacted Genki directly in Japan. Here, the media got a chance to speak to the head of the company, who revealed that the accessories and shells they brought to CES were built using leaked information and They don’t actually have a Switch 2..
Besides, CNET He contacted Nintendo to get the company’s opinion on the matter. Surprisingly, the Big N responded, and He points out that what Genki showed is not official. As a company spokesperson commented:
“The hardware presented by Genki as Nintendo hardware at CES is not official and has not been supplied to the company by us.”
This makes it clear that Genki does not have a Switch 2, as many pointed out at the time. Likewise, this would explain why Nintendo filed a lawsuit against this company, and that is that since there are no new consoles, they have not signed a confidentiality agreement, and are free to do and show whatever they want.
However, the possibility cannot be ruled out that another company already has the Switch 2 and is making accessories for the console, and in this case, They have a confidentiality agreement that prevents them from revealing anything ahead of time. On a related note, Nintendo shared another statement about the leak. Similarly, they list more than 15 games for Switch 2.
Author’s Note:
It’s clear that no one wants to mess with Nintendo. While it seems like Genki wanted to impress at CES, it seems like it got more attention than it needed and now they have to take care of something that might impress them.
