A very strange thing happened earlier this year, prior to Nintendo officially revealing the Switch 2: A small accessory maker, Genki, brought a mockup of the mysterious new console to CES 2025 and flaunted it on the show floor,

Genki has allegedly been misusing Nintendo’s trademarks and misleading customers about its Switch to accessories.

Earlier this year, as anticipation was building for the soon-to-be-revealed Switch 2, accessory manufacturer Genki turned heads when it casually revealed an alleged mockup of the upcoming Nintendo console at CES, showing off its upcoming accessories for the system. Now, Nintendo is suing Genki for trademark infringement and false advertising.
