Accessory maker Genki has revealed in an interview with Japanese publication Game*Spark that the Nintendo Switch 2 accessories it showcased during CES 2025 were based on leaks and not actual hardware.
A representative from Genki said that even the mock-up of the Switch 2, which was used to showcase Genki’s case for the console, was based on information that had been previously leaked.
The representative also said that the company itself had not seen the console, and that it did not have information on the Switch 2 that could be considered accurate. “Only Nintendo can tell whether accessories for the Switch will be compatible with the Switch 2,” said the company.
Genki also stated that it doesn’t know whether the line-up of accessories it revealed will be compatible with the Nintendo Switch 2 when it launches.
Nintendo has also released its own statement, saying that any version of the Nintendo Switch 2 hardware present at CES 2025 was not official.
