At CES 2025, Genki unveiled a physical Switch 2 replica, offering clues about its design. This purported replica suggests a larger console than its predecessor, with side-detaching Joy-Cons.
Images circulating online purportedly depict this "exact" replica, fueling speculation about the upcoming Nintendo Switch successor. While Nintendo remains officially silent, the influx of rumors and leaks continues unabated. These leaks frequently originate from accessory manufacturers like Genki, who receive early access to specifications for product development.
According to Netzwelt, Genki showcased a Switch 2 replica at a CES 2025 closed-door event. Attendees could handle the device, reportedly matching the Switch 2's final dimensions. This replica might solidify previous design leaks.
Genki's Replica Hints at Switch 2 Design
Netzwelt's photos reveal a noticeably larger console, boasting a screen comparable to the Lenovo Legion Go. The Joy-Cons appear to detach via a side pull mechanism, potentially confirming magnetic attachment rumors. However, a mechanical lock might prevent accidental detachment. An unlabeled extra button is also visible on the right Joy-Con.
Genki's purpose in creating this replica was to showcase upcoming Switch 2 accessories. They plan to release eight accessories, encompassing cases, controller accessories, and a Switch 2 dock. Genki offered no insight into Nintendo's release plans.
The increasing concreteness of leaks suggests an imminent official Nintendo Switch 2 reveal. Anticipation is high among fans, developers, and publishers, given the current Switch's age.
