Change 2 accessory manufacturers to knock hard on console leaks

Like previous leaks, Genki’s mock-up shows the Switch 2 with magnetic Joy-Cons that easily pull off the main body of the console. Videos of Genki’s case show the Switch 2 with a U-shaped support, as previously leaked. The accessory maker also said that the Joy-Cons actually have an optical sensor — fans think that could make the controllers usable as a mouse — and a mysterious “C” button.

Without official word from Nintendo, this all remains speculation – despite how confident Genki seems to be showing up to CES with a Switch 2 mock-up. All of us definitely know about the Nintendo Switch 2 is that it is is coming (perhaps with a different name!), it’s backwards compatible with Nintendo Switch games, it’ll use Nintendo Accounts and the Nintendo Switch Online service, and it’ll be announced before March 2025.

There is still little information available about how much the console will cost; for reference, the Nintendo Switch’s OLED model costs $349.
