Last week at the CES 2025 convention, accessory maker Genki was showing off various accessories they were making for the unannounced Switch 2, displayed using mockups for the console that visitors could handle.
According to French journalist Julien Tellouck, Genki’s actions drew some attention from Nintendo. In a video posted to his Youtube channel, Tellouck claimed that a Genki employee told him that they were approached by lawyers representing Nintendo, presumably about the Switch 2 mockups they were carrying.
“I spoke with the guy from Genki, just behind me. He told me that Nintendo had already sent lawyers their way. But Genki has nothing to worry about because they’ve never signed any papers with Nintendo, no confidentiality agreement, no NDA. So, the Japanese brand is in the clear.”
Despite Genki’s assurances that they aren’t in any legal trouble, being approached by Nintendo’s legal team could explain why they backtracked on their claims of having access to a real Nintendo Switch 2 console. That said, there is no way to truly verify Genki’s claims about anything at this time.
