Nintendo Debunks Switch 2 Rumors Linked to Genki

Nintendo has officially responded to the buzz surrounding a supposed 3D-printed mockup of the Nintendo Switch 2, showcased by the American hardware brand Genki at CES 2025.

Nintendo Says Mockup Is Unofficial

Did Not Provide Genki Switch 2 Hardware

During CES 2025, Genki, known for their range of electronics and video game console accessories, including controllers, portable SSDs, and chargers, grabbed headlines by displaying what they claimed to be a 3D-printed mockup of the highly anticipated Nintendo Switch 2. They even went as far as to tell journalists and attendees that they possessed a "real" Switch 2 and hinted at a release date.

Genki's website features a dedicated page for Nintendo Switch 2 accessories, complete with a detailed animated mock-up of the console. However, Nintendo has not made any major announcements about the upcoming console, only stating that news will be released soon. The only confirmed detail from Nintendo about the Switch 2 is its backwards compatibility with the original Switch and its games. Given this, it seems likely that Nintendo may make an official announcement about the console in the near future.
