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 model, Nintendo has officially refuted the claims. Both CNET Japan and the Sankei newspaper report Nintendo's statement confirming the displayed hardware and related information as unofficial. The company explicitly stated that Genki was not provided with any official Switch 2 hardware by Nintendo.

Genki, an American manufacturer of electronics and gaming accessories (controllers, SSDs, chargers, etc.), generated significant buzz by showcasing the 3D-printed mockup and allegedly revealing a release date and details to attendees. Their website even features a dedicated page for prospective Switch 2 accessories, further fueling speculation.
