Rumor: ‘Nintendo Switch 2 Replica’ Has Been Showcased By Accessory Maker

Genki's CES 2025 Reveal: A Closer Look at the Potential Nintendo Switch 2 Design

New images circulating from CES 2025 purportedly depict a highly accurate physical replica of the upcoming Nintendo Switch 2, crafted by accessory maker Genki. This replica offers a substantial glimpse into the console's potential design, fueling speculation surrounding Nintendo's next-generation handheld.

While Nintendo remains tight-lipped, rumors and leaks regarding the Switch 2 continue to proliferate. Many originate from accessory manufacturers like Genki, who often receive early access to hardware specifications to prepare their product lines. Genki's presentation of this replica, according to Netzwelt, was a behind-closed-doors affair, showcasing the device's dimensions to potential clients interested in Genki's planned Switch 2 accessories.

A Larger Console with Side-Detaching Joy-Cons:

Images suggest a noticeably larger console than the current Switch, boasting a screen size comparable to the Lenovo Legion Go. The Joy-Cons appear to detach via a side pull mechanism, potentially confirming previous rumors of magnetic attachment. However, Netzwelt speculates the inclusion of a mechanical locking system to prevent accidental detachment. An additional, unlabeled button is also visible on the right Joy-Con.

Genki's Accessory Plans:

Genki's primary objective in creating the replica wasn't public display, but rather to showcase its upcoming Switch 2 accessories. The company intends to launch a total of eight accessories, encompassing cases, controller accessories, and potentially dock enhancements. Notably, Genki refrained from offering any insights into Nintendo's official release plans for the Switch 2.

Anticipation Builds:

With increasingly credible leaks and rumors emerging, the official unveiling of the Switch 2 seems imminent. The anticipation is palpable amongst fans, developers, and publishers alike, given the current Switch's age and the substantial interest in its successor.
