Genki claimed that the Switch 2 will be released in April, and that their model is based on the real Switch 2 console. They also added that the optical sensor in the Joy-Con is a new feature, but they are unsure of what the new C button exactly does.
Both Genki and other manufacturers showcased many third-party accessories and demonstrated how they would work with the Switch 2 during the CES 2025 in Las Vegas. It’s worth noting that the Switch 2 has already appeared in a Japanese Amazon listing.

None of this information has been confirmed by Nintendo yet. However, considering that the console is supposedly arriving in just a few months and the massive number of leaks, gamers are questioning why the Japanese company has not yet revealed the console.
