However, considering Nintendo’s Switch successor is still to be officially unveiled, they generally aren’t encouraged to show off prototypes or dummies. And, likeDbrand before it, Genki might soon find itself in hot water with the Japanese gaming giant.
Not that we’re complaining. The case manufacturer showed German websiteNetzwelt(viaVGC) the seemingly accurate Switch 2 model during the current trade show in Las Vegas, and we have to say that it looks a great upgrade on the existing Switch OLED.
It also displayed the prospective new Joy-Cons – which alsoleaked “in the flesh” the other day– on what we assume to be a Genki charging stand.

From what we can see in the images, the controllers attach to either side in a different way this time, which matches the rumours that they’ll feature magnetic connectivity rather than physical clips.
And the whole console seems more rounded and coherent – a bit more like theNintendo Switch Litethan the original Switch.

As for the validity and the case manufacturer itself, Genki hasn’t exactly been shy when it comes to sneak peeks at Nintendo’s next hardware. If youhead to its website, you get an even better look at the purported device adorned in some of the company’s accessories.

It leaves very little to the imagination, if it does turn out to be the real deal.
And, in all honesty, this is only the tip of the iceberg. With an announcement from Nintendo itself expected over the next couple of months, there will be plenty more rumours and leaks on the immediate horizon.
