CES 2025: Genki's Switch 2 Replica Hints at Console's Design and Accessory Plans

New images circulating from CES 2025 purportedly depict a highly accurate physical replica of the upcoming Nintendo Switch 2, offering a glimpse into the console's potential design. While Nintendo remains tight-lipped, the steady stream of leaks and rumors surrounding the Switch 2 continues to build anticipation. This latest development comes courtesy of accessory maker Genki, who showcased the replica behind closed doors.

Genki's replica, reportedly matching the Switch 2's exact dimensions, provides a tangible representation of the console's form factor. The images suggest a larger device than the current Switch, boasting a screen size comparable to the Lenovo Legion Go. A key detail revealed is the Joy-Con detachment mechanism: instead of sliding, the controllers appear to detach via a sideways pull, lending credence to earlier rumors of magnetic attachment. The report also suggests a possible mechanical locking system to prevent accidental detachment. Interestingly, the right Joy-Con shows an additional, unlabeled button.

Genki's primary motivation for creating the replica wasn't to preempt Nintendo's announcement. Instead, the company used the model to showcase its upcoming range of Switch 2 accessories. Genki plans to release a total of eight accessories, encompassing cases, controller accessories, and even a dock. Notably, Genki refrained from commenting on Nintendo's official launch plans for the Switch 2.

The increasing concreteness of these leaks suggests an official Nintendo announcement may be imminent. The anticipation is palpable, fueled by the current Switch's age and the eagerness of developers and publishers alike to embrace the next generation.
