At CES 2025, Genki unveiled a physical Switch 2 replica, offering insights into its potential design. This purported replica suggests a larger console than its predecessor, with side-detaching Joy-Cons.
Images circulating from CES 2025 purportedly depict a precise physical replica of the upcoming Nintendo Switch 2. These images, originating from the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas, provide a tangible glimpse of the anticipated successor to the Nintendo Switch.
While Nintendo remains officially silent, speculation surrounding the Switch 2 has intensified. Daily rumors and leaks detail features, potential games, and accessories. Many leaks stem from accessory manufacturers granted early access to specifications for product development.
Genki, a prominent accessory maker, reportedly showcased a Switch 2 replica at a CES 2025 closed-door event. According to Netzwelt, Genki claims the replica's dimensions precisely match the final hardware. This replica might represent the most concrete depiction of the Switch 2 yet, potentially validating previous design leaks.
Genki's Replica Reveals Potential Switch 2 Design Features
Netzwelt's images suggest a noticeably larger Switch 2, boasting a screen comparable to the Lenovo Legion Go. The Joy-Cons appear to detach by pulling them sideways, possibly confirming magnetic attachment rumors. However, a mechanical locking mechanism may prevent accidental detachment. An unlabeled extra button is also visible on the right Joy-Con.
Genki's motive for creating the replica was to showcase upcoming Switch 2 accessories. They intend to launch eight accessories, encompassing controllers and the Switch 2 dock. Genki refrained from commenting on Nintendo's release plans for the Switch 2.
With increasingly credible leaks and rumors, an official Nintendo Switch 2 announcement seems imminent. Anticipation is high among fans, developers, and publishers, given the current Switch's age.
