A recent leak regarding the Nintendo Switch 2, which appears to be quite reliable, provides us with a clearer timeline for when the console might launch. Over the past year, there has been an abundance of rumors and leaks about the Switch 2, but Nintendo has remained tight-lipped about its successor’s release. They have only hinted at showcasing the console before the end of March. However, a manufacturer that produces accessories for the hardware seems to have accidentally revealed some details ahead of Nintendo’s official announcement.
According to French publication Numerama, fresh information about the Nintendo Switch 2 has emerged, largely due to Genki, a manufacturer of Nintendo Switch accessories. At the ongoing CES 2025, Genki has been displaying what they claim is a prototype of the Switch 2, allegedly based on specifications provided by Nintendo. Notably, Genki doesn’t have an official partnership with Nintendo, which allows them to showcase this supposed model.
Regarding the upcoming Switch 2, it’s said to be slightly larger than the existing Switch and Switch OLED models offered by Nintendo. Notably, the Switch 2 is rumored to come with magnetic Joy-Cons that have been a subject of leaks in recent months. Furthermore, it seems this new model will include an extra button positioned near the Home button on the right Joy-Con, though its function remains unclear for now.

Among all aspects of the recent leak, the anticipated release date for the Nintendo Switch 2 stands out as particularly intriguing. According to Genki’s claims, they are set to launch eight accessories specifically designed for the Switch 2, which is tentatively scheduled for April 2025. While Nintendo has not confirmed these details, Genki appears to be the most reliable source thus far regarding information about the Switch 2.
If reports are accurate and Nintendo intends to launch the Switch 2 in April, then we can expect an official announcement for the console to surface quite soon, possibly even this week according to some whispers. For now, it’s unclear what Nintendo’s exact plans are, but it seems they might be eager to disclose the Switch 2 ahead of schedule to avoid missing their prime opportunity to make the biggest gaming headline of the year on their own timing.
