Nintendo Responds to Nintendo Switch 2 Leaks
- Nintendo has finally commented on the latest Nintendo Switch 2 leaks
- It described the mockup shown off by Genki at CES 2025 as “unofficial”
- The company has also backtracked on its claim that the mockup was based on an actual unit
For those who have been keeping up with the latest news, the Nintendo Switch 2 leaks have been hard to miss. The amount of information circulating about the upcoming console, from its design to potential features, has been unprecedented.
Third-party accessory manufacturers have even joined in, creating their own Nintendo Switch 2 renders. Case maker Genki showcased a mockup of the system at CES 2025, providing a glimpse of the expected dimensions.
However, Nintendo recently issued a statement regarding this mockup. In a comment translated by CNET Japan, a Nintendo representative clarified that the hardware displayed by Genki at CES 2025 is unofficial and not endorsed by Nintendo.
While this announcement may seem straightforward, it raises more questions than answers. Although Genki claimed its mockup was based on an actual Nintendo Switch 2 unit, Nintendo has now admitted that it was crafted using rumors and leaked information.
Despite this revelation, the statement does not address the wealth of other leaks currently circulating. It also does not confirm whether Genki’s mockup accurately represents the upcoming console. All eyes are now on Nintendo’s official reveal or more reliable leaks for further details.
With Nintendo confirming plans to unveil the system before the end of its fiscal year on March 31, the official reveal may be just around the corner.
