Nintendo’s Switch successor has invaded CES in Las Vegas, as an accessory company claims to know when the console will launch. While we don’t officially know anything about Nintendo’s next console, aside from it being backwards compatible, an ongoing tsunami of leaks has made it very plain what the new hardware looks like.

We’ve already seen videos of the seemingly magnetic Joy-Cons, a bunch of images showing the console and the dock, along with rumours that the system’s controllers could operate like a computer mouse, but now more evidence has emerged at CES (Consumer Electronics Show) in Las Vegas.

According to multiple reports, accessory company Genki is showing off a Nintendo Switch 2 replica behind closed doors at the tech event this week, while also claiming to have information about the console’s launch window. The mock-up is being used to demonstrate eight accessories Genki has planned for the new console, including controllers and a docking station. The company also claims to have a final unit of the console, which this replicated model has allegedly been based on.
According to a report from French publication Numerama, who went hands-on with the replica, the Switch 2 model is ‘larger’ than the original Switch and introduces a second USB-C port on the top of the console, which lines up with prior leaks. The report also claims Genki’s accessories for the Switch 2 will all launch at the same time as the console ‘in April’, a date which has been rumoured in the past.
