Nintendo is suing an accessory company because he violated the design of the Switch 2

The official presentation of the Nintendo Switch 2 was characterized by controversy, especially after the publication of a first trailer in January 2025. During the CES 2025, several accessory manufacturers, including the Genki company, presented models that were probably based on the actual design of the new console. This triggered a wave of speculation that forced Nintendo to take measures to protect its next generation product.

A catastrophic situation for Nintendo

Nintendo recently decided to take legal steps against Genki because the company benefited the public interest in Switch 2 without permission. According to court documents, Nintendo claims that Genki has used “online leaks” to create models that, according to the company. This situation escalated as a legal representative of Nintendo during the event visited the state of Genkis, where the company's statements about the origin of its models were “contradictory and inconsistent”.

The videos of these models became viral and caused confusion among the participants of CES and specialized media. In response to the demand, Genki made an explanation that “it takes the allegations seriously” and works with legal advisors to give an appropriate answer. Despite the situation, the company confirms its commitment to innovations in the game accessories and intends to continue its production plans.

While events develop, the Gaming community pays attention to the legal effects that this dispute has on the industry and questions the extent to which the embarrassing interest in the new console could be affected. The controversy around Genki indicates a small fracture in the relationship between hardware developers and accessory manufacturers that could have long -term effects.
