Nintendo has officially refuted claims by American accessory maker Genki regarding a purported Nintendo Switch 2. Let's delve into the details.
Nintendo Denies Genki's Switch 2 Claims
Following Genki's presentation at CES 2025, where they showcased a 3D-printed Switch 2 mockup and hinted at possessing a functional unit, Nintendo issued a statement to CNET Japan and the Sankei newspaper. The statement unequivocally declared that the images and videos circulating are unofficial and that Genki was never provided with any Switch 2 hardware by Nintendo.
Genki, a company known for its gaming accessories including controllers, SSDs, and chargers, even features a dedicated page on its website showcasing a detailed animated mockup of a Switch 2 and accessories. This further fueled speculation.
While Genki's actions generated significant buzz, Nintendo remains tight-lipped about the Switch 2's official unveiling, stating only that announcements are forthcoming. The only confirmed detail to date is the Switch 2's backward compatibility with Switch 1 games. Given the recent controversy, an official announcement from Nintendo may be imminent.
