In Short
  • Genki showcased a Nintendo Switch 2 mockup at CES 2025, showing the features of magnetic Joy-Cons.
  • Some leaks also suggest the Switch 2 will have a Wireless Pro controller and a 60W charger for the dock.
  • Genki's reveal indicates a potential April launch window for the Nintendo Switch 2.

It seems the Nintendo Switch 2 will be revealed through the leaks before the official announcement is even made. While most of the news regarding Switch 2 was a rumor earlier, this one seems almost confirmed. In a CES 2025 video from @Numerama on X, Genki shared the first mockup of the Nintendo Switch 2 with the magnetic Joy Cons in action.

The post, which is in French, translates to, “Prop maker Genki says he has the real console and displays a 3D model + accessories.” In the shared video on X, we see the magnetic Joy Cons and a charging port. We also see how the controllers work with the console. While Genki claims the console shown in the video is a replica, the dimensions and features of it are similar to the original.

Moreover, the accessories makers also share that the Nintendo Switch 2 release date is in April. This is close to the official Switch 2 announcement date. Genki also mentions the Joy Cons will have a new optical sensor but they do not have a conclusive idea of what the “C Button” does. Genki already has opened their Switch 2 accessories website where you can see the mockup of the console and Joy Cons.
