Nintendo has instigated a lawsuit against a console accessory manufacturer for leaking the Nintendo Switch 2 early via a mock-up. The mock-up was a size-accurate recreation of the Switch 2, new Joy-Cons included, shown in January 2025 at the Consumer Electronics Show (CES).
Nintendo has now filed a lawsuit against Genki, the accessory company responsible for creating the mock-up and showing it to attendees of CES at its booth, according to Bluesky user OatmealDome. The court documents themselves can be viewed at CourtListener. IGN reported on the mock-up in January after going hands-on with it at CES. Genki's mock-up effectively leaked the size and shape of the Nintendo Switch 2 roughly a week before the console's official reveal.
