At CES 2025, Genki unveiled a physical Nintendo Switch 2 replica, offering insights into its potential design. This purported replica suggests a larger console than its predecessor, with side-detaching Joy-Cons—a departure from the current sliding mechanism. The larger screen size is comparable to the Lenovo Legion Go.
Images from the event depict a noticeably larger Switch 2, hinting at a screen size similar to the Lenovo Legion Go handheld. The Joy-Cons, according to the replica, detach by pulling them sideways, potentially confirming magnetic attachment rumors. However, a mechanical locking system is speculated to prevent accidental detachment. An unlabeled extra button is also visible on the right Joy-Con.
Genki's motivation for creating this replica was to showcase upcoming Switch 2 accessories. They plan to release a total of eight accessories, encompassing cases, controller accessories, and dock peripherals. Notably, Genki refrained from disclosing any information regarding Nintendo's official Switch 2 release plans.
The increasing concreteness of leaks and rumors strongly suggests an imminent official Nintendo announcement of the Switch 2. The anticipation is palpable among fans, developers, and publishers alike, given the current Switch's age.
