Nintendo Denies Switch 2 Showcase Rumors for American Hardware Brand Genki

Following the recent CES 2025 event, where accessory maker Genki unveiled 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 denial, stating that the images and videos presented by Genki are unofficial.

Genki, a US-based manufacturer of electronics and gaming accessories (including controllers, SSDs, and chargers), generated considerable buzz at CES 2025 by showcasing the mockup and hinting at possessing a functional Switch 2 unit, along with a purported release date. Their website even features an animated mockup of a Switch 2 alongside a dedicated page for planned Switch 2 accessories.

While Nintendo has confirmed backwards compatibility with the original Switch, the company's silence regarding Genki's claims suggests an imminent official announcement might be necessary to address the speculation.
