Nintendo Switch 2 Mock-Up Showcased by Accessories Manufacturer Genki; April Release Date Rumored
While Nintendo continues to remain silent about the Nintendo Switch 2, accessories manufacturers are stepping into the spotlight, offering tantalizing glimpses of the highly anticipated next-gen console. During CES 2025, Genki, a well-known accessories manufacturer, revealed their Nintendo Switch 2 accessories lineup, along with a mock-up of the console reportedly based on a real unit.
What Did Genki Reveal?
In a short video available on their official website, Genki showcased the Nintendo Switch 2 full unit and its dock, alongside a demonstration of the new magnetic Joy-Con controllers. The mock-up highlights several design upgrades, including:
Larger Console Size: The Nintendo Switch 2 appears bigger than its predecessor.
Second USB-C Port: A new USB-C port located on the top of the console, potentially opening up new use cases for peripherals.
While the video and mock-up seem convincing, it remains unverified whether these are based on the actual device or speculative designs.
April 2025 Release Window?
Genki isn’t the only manufacturer spilling details. In a report by reputable French publication Numerama, multiple accessories makers suggested that the Nintendo Switch 2 could launch as soon as April 2025. Some even claim the system is already available on the black market, though no software leaks have surfaced to support this bold assertion.
The Waiting Game
With leaks, rumors, and mock-ups appearing almost daily, fans are eagerly awaiting Nintendo’s official announcement. While Nintendo has yet to confirm the Switch 2 or its features, this steady stream of revelations suggests that an announcement may be imminent.
