Nintendo Lawyers Storm Genki's CES Booth Over Switch 2 Mockup

Recent reports indicate that Genki, an accessories manufacturer, has been visited by Nintendo lawyers regarding a mockup of the much-anticipated Switch 2 that Genki presented at CES 2025. Nintendo clarified that the mockup presented was unofficial and not provided by them. It has been revealed that Genki's representation about having seen the actual hardware has changed, as they now admit it was based on leaked industry information. While the mockup stirred considerable online debate and interest, Nintendo is expected to formally announce details about the Switch 2 by the end of March 2025. Features include backward compatibility with existing Switch games and potentially upgraded controllers.

Rumored features for the Nintendo Switch 2 include a larger screen, a new "C" button on the right Joy-Con, electromagnetic suction for controller attachment, and support for faster MicroSD Express cards. There are also suggestions that the console will support 4K textures through AI image upscaling technology.

The Nintendo Switch 2 is set to build upon the success of the original Nintendo Switch, which launched in 2017 and has sold over 125 million units worldwide. Fans are eagerly anticipating enhancements that will allow for smoother gameplay, improved graphics, and more intuitive controls, making it a highly sought-after gaming system in the competitive console market.
