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. The gaming giant has made it clear that the images and videos circulating are not official, and the hardware Genki claimed to be the Switch 2 was never provided by Nintendo.
During the recent CES 2025, Genki grabbed headlines by presenting what they claimed was a 3D-printed mockup of the highly anticipated next-generation console, the Nintendo Switch 2. They went further to assert to journalists and attendees that they possessed a "real" Switch 2 and even hinted at a release date.
Genki, known for their range of accessories for electronics and video game consoles, including controllers, portable SSDs, and chargers, has a dedicated section on their website for Nintendo Switch 2 accessories. This section features a detailed animated mock-up of the console, adding to the speculation and excitement around the upcoming device.
However, Nintendo has remained tight-lipped about the Switch 2, with no major announcements made yet. The only detail confirmed by Nintendo is that the Switch 2 will offer backwards compatibility with the original Switch and its games. As anticipation builds, it seems likely that Nintendo will soon make an official announcement to clarify the situation and provide more information about the next-gen console.
