Nintendo Switch 'Pro' Details Leak via Accessory Maker

Genki's CES 2025 Reveal: A Closer Look at the Potential Nintendo Switch 2 Design

New images circulating from CES 2025 purportedly depict a highly accurate physical replica of the upcoming Nintendo Switch 2, crafted by accessory maker Genki. This offers a significant glimpse into the console's potential design, fueling the already intense speculation surrounding Nintendo's next-generation handheld.

While Nintendo remains tight-lipped, the influx of leaks and rumors continues unabated. Accessory manufacturers, often privy to early hardware specifications, are a key source of this information, as they need lead time to develop compatible products. Genki's actions at CES are a prime example.

According to Netzwelt, Genki showcased a Switch 2 replica to select attendees. Genki claims the replica boasts the exact dimensions of the final product, providing a tangible representation of the console's size and form factor. This replica is arguably the most substantial evidence yet to emerge, potentially corroborating previous design leaks.

The images reveal a noticeably larger console than the current Switch, with a screen size comparable to the Lenovo Legion Go. The Joy-Cons appear to detach via a sideways pull mechanism, suggesting a magnetic attachment system, although speculation exists regarding a possible mechanical locking mechanism to prevent accidental detachment. Interestingly, the right Joy-Con displays an unlabeled extra button.

Genki's primary goal in creating this replica wasn't public display, but rather to showcase its planned range of Switch 2 accessories. The company intends to release eight accessories in total, encompassing cases, controller accessories, and dock enhancements. Notably, Genki refrained from offering any insights into Nintendo's official release plans for the Switch 2.

Given the increasing concreteness of these leaks, an official Nintendo announcement seems imminent. The anticipation is palpable amongst fans, developers, and publishers alike, considering the current Switch's age.
