Earlier this week, it looked like we might have been given our first glimpse of what the Nintendo Switch 2 might look like thanks to mock-ups produced by accessory maker Genki that were shown off at CES 2025. Despite it originally being claimed that these mock-ups were molded based on the real thing, however, that may not be the case.
In an interview with Japanese outlet Game*Spark (highlighted and translated by Automaton), a Genki representative reportedly admitted that the Switch 2 cover accessory that the company had on display (not the mock-up) was created based on leaks, and its size isn't final. What's more, the person interviewed apparently said they'd not seen the real console. This seriously brings into question the legitimacy of the viral mock-ups – how would the company be able to mold those after the actual console, but apparently have to create a cover for it based on leaks instead?
