Do you know the Nintendo Switch 2? Well, it looks like whatever you did to get more information about it has worked, as accessories manufacturer Genki showed off dummy models of it at CES 2025, alongside suggesting an April launch is currently taking place on the cards.
Yes, call your local tarot card reader and thank them for the existence of companies that manufacture bits that fit alongside your hardware.

This is from a French site Numeramawho went hands-on with one of the dummy models. It was also reportedly told by a Genki representative that – according to the latest information from that representative – the console is currently expected to launch in April.
While this is far from the only Switch 2 information leak to surface recently, Numerama claims that Genki was able to be so open about all of this because it reportedly has no formal contract with Nintendo regarding the Switch 2 to break.

So, what do the dummy models suggest the Switch 2 looks like? Well, like a Nintendo Switch 2. It’s bigger than the original Switch, has magnetic joy-cons, an optical sensor and there’s an extra “C” button on one of the joy-cons, plus an extra USB port on top.
That’s all about as expected at this point, but what isn’t is that the Numerama report claims that some accessory makers have said that it’s currently possible to get a real Switch 2 on the black market “if you’re into it spends money for.” That sound you just heard is probably a Nintendo lawyer’s ears perking up.
VG247 has contacted Nintendo for comment.
