Switch 2 Replica Showcased by Accessory Company

At CES 2025, Genki unveiled a purportedly accurate physical replica of the Nintendo Switch 2, offering a glimpse into its potential design. This replica, showcased privately, suggests a larger console than its predecessor, with side-detaching Joy-Cons, a departure from the current sliding mechanism. The images circulating online depict a screen size comparable to the Lenovo Legion Go.

The larger size and side-detaching Joy-Cons, which may incorporate magnetic attachment and a mechanical locking system for security, align with previous leaks. Intriguingly, the right Joy-Con in the replica features an unlabeled extra button.

Genki's purpose in creating this replica was to demonstrate upcoming Switch 2 accessories. They plan to release a total of eight accessories, encompassing cases, controller peripherals, and dock enhancements. While Genki remained silent on Nintendo's official release plans, the increasing volume of credible leaks suggests an imminent official unveiling of the Switch 2 is likely. The anticipation among fans, developers, and publishers is palpable, given the current Switch's age.
