The announcement of Switch 2 accessories lines up with many of the console’s leaks

Like previous leaks, Genki’s mock-up shows the Switch 2 with magnetic Joy-Cons that can be easily removed from the main body of the console. Videos from Genki’s case show the Switch 2 with a U-shaped stand, as previously leaked. The accessory maker also said that the Joy-Cons will indeed have an optical sensor – fans think this could make the controllers usable as a mouse – and a mysterious ‘C’ button.

Of course, without official word from Nintendo, this all remains speculation – despite how confident Genki seems to be by showing up at CES with a Switch 2 mock-up. All of us Certainly know about the Nintendo Switch 2 is that it is is coming (maybe with a different name!), it’s backwards compatible with Nintendo Switch games, it’ll use Nintendo Accounts and the Nintendo Switch Online service, and it’ll be announced before March 2025.

There is still little information available about how much the console will cost; For reference, the Nintendo Switch OLED model costs $349.
