After the numerous leaks and rumors about the Switch 2, Nintendo itself has now spoken out – as has accessory manufacturer Genki.
On the sidelines of CES 2025 in Las Vegas, there has been an explosion of leaks and renderings surrounding the Switch 2 over the past few days, which continues to respond to its official presentation. Above all, the accessory manufacturer Genki made a name for itself; after all, the company even had mock-ups of the supposed Switch 2 ready in Las Vegas and put them in the hands of trade fair visitors to present their own products.
This didn't initially lure Nintendo out of the cover, but now the Japanese have actually commented on all of these leaks. The answer via the Japanese website Sankei but it turns out almost as expected.

In any case, Genki did not receive a Switch 2 from the company.
All the more surprising is the fact that Genki himself comments on the matter again – and in doing so becomes quite clearer.

The question now is: When will Nintendo finally provide clarity regarding the Switch 2? The most recent speculations about the performance date have again not been confirmed; So it's time for the Japanese to see reason and get down to business!
