What the Nintendo Switch 2 will look like is one of the worst-kept secrets in gaming right now with leaks from various sources flꦇying around left and right. However, a mock-up of the c♋onsole provided by accessory manufacturer Genki may well be our best look at w🐻hat Nintendo's next console will look like so far, and it comes with a release window that's a lot sooner than you might be expecting.
Genki has been showing off its Switch 2 accessories behind closed doors at CES 2025 but naturally, images of them have quickly found their way online and are now sprea⭕ding like wildfire on social media. The images include some Joy-Con that l🍒ine up with other photos and info that have leaked about the Switch 2 controllers, and perhaps more notably, what Genki claims is a mock-up of the Switch 2 it's been using to create its accessories has been shown.
Nintendo Fans So Starving For Switch 2 News They're Consulting Tarot Cards
Ninte💖ndo fans are having a lot of fun with the long wait for Switcꦫh 2 news, now consulting tarot cards for answers.
CES attendees are welcome to "get a feel" for the Switch 2 using Genki's accessories as the company made good on a promise it made last week. Genki noted it would be bringing Switch 2 accessories to the ev𝓡ent and well, here we are. Nintendo presumably got wind of that promise and you'd have to assume it doesn't have a problem with it if it didn't get in touch with the third-party accessory creator to ask what it's playing at.
Genki May Have Provided Our Best Look At The Switch 2 Yet
The Wait For Nintendo To Confirm Something, Anything, Continues
While the images confirm prior leaks, the one thing Genki has reportedly been telling ꦅattendees that wasn't known before is a potential release window for the Switch 2. It's claiming that its accessories will be released in April of this year which presumably means that's when the Switch 2 will launch as well. It would be a little odd if accessories were available to buy for a console that can't be played yet.
There is a chance that's simply when pre-orders for the Switch 2 will open with a release coming later in 2025. The one thing we know for certain is that Nintendo will have confirmed details about the Switch 2 by then as it has committed to a reveal before ꧂the end of the curre♓nt financial year, so any time between now and March 31, 2﷽025. If the reveal comes within the next couple of weeks, an April release may well be on the cards. A quick turnaround, but at th☂is point, Nintendo probably just wants to get its new console out there.
