The company that is “leaked” Switch 2 is sued by Nintendo

Do you remember as Genki, who showed accessory manufacturers behind products such as The Shadowcast and Savepoint, a model of the Switch 2 on the CES at the beginning of this year and stole a march on Nintendo's official unveiling? Well, it turns out that Nintendo himself was not too enthusiastic that the surprise was ruined and Genki brings to court.

In documents that were discovered by oat misalignment, Nintendo claims that Genki “did not authorize alleged models and renderings of the Nintendo Switch 2 and its accessories on the CES demo and renderings and rendering and shifted its brands.

The CEO of Genki, Edward Tsai, is also to show 3D printed models and claims that Genki has “access to an authentic switch 2, on which Genki is based on the models, renderings and 3D printed models”. Nintendo adds that Genki “supposedly” “supposedly” very confidential designs and functions of the Nintendo Switch 2.

These measures, Nintendo claims, “are” the anticipation of the public on the publication of Nintendo's next generation of Nintendo and appropriate “and the view that Genki” Nintendo's brand and trade dress in connection with the marketing of its company and its non-authorized accessories, which in the rights of Nintendo violates brand rights, “Nintendos brand and trade dress used. “

Nintendo also says that Genki's claim that it has access to a real switch 2 is wrong, which Genki has confirmed itself since then.

“Genki's claims of compatibility would be impossible without guaranteeing unauthorized, illegal early access to the Nintendo Switch. 2. Therefore, Genki has misled the public and is publicly able to guarantee the compatibility of its products with the Nintendo Switch 2,” adds Nintendo.

Nintendo also has problems with the social media and web activities of Genki, which indicate that it had “infiltrated” Nintendo's headquarters. Later it would publish a message on his website with the comment: “Can you keep a secret? We can't.”

The Japanese giant was also less than satisfied with the fact that Genki had officially announced the console two hours after Nintendo, and claimed that the company had used a miniature picture that would have misled the fans that it was an official Nintendo program.
