There has been a flurry of Switch 2-related news in recent days, but not from Nintendo itself. Now, the Mario maker has broken its silence on the week's reports

In a rare move, Nintendo offers some official comments on the latest Switch 2 leaks, which emerged online in early January 2025.

A third-party maker of gaming accessories created a mockup of Nintendo's next video game console, the Switch 2, and is showing off features Nintendo has yet to announce, including an optical sensor and a new controller button.

Nintendo isn’t officially at CES, but it might have stolen the show anyway: accessories-maker Genki brought a 3D-printed mockup of what it says is Nintendo’s Switch successor, and we got to hold it and take some high-resolution pictures.

Is Genki's alleged mockup of the upcoming Switch 2 a real leak or a publicity stunt gone awry? Here's what we found.

An accessories manufacturer showcased accurate models of the Nintendo Switch 2 at CES 2025, revealing the design for the upcoming console.

Nintendo has addressed a series of claims from accessory manufacturer Genki surrounding the Nintendo Switch 2.

While Nintendo hasn't revealed the Switch 2, CES 2025 saw many companies announce their entry into, or updates for, the handheld PC space. Lenovo announced the Legion Go S as the world's first non-Valve handheld PC, while Acer revealed its ginormous Nitro Blaze 8 and 11 handhelds. Atari also announced its new Gamestation Go handheld console.

New information about the handheld seems to spring up every day, but it’s unclear when the Switch successor will make its appearance. It also doesn’t matter.

Nintendo Switch 2 accessory makers at CES 2025 claim the console will get an April release date. And that's not even the biggest surprise.
