As reported, at CES 2025, Genki showcased a mock-up of the Nintendo Switch 2 along with a range of accessories for the console, which has yet to be officially announced. Later, Nintendo commented on the situation, stating that the displayed hardware is unofficial.
The gaming hardware that Genki is presenting as Nintendo equipment at CES is unofficial and not provided by Nintendo.

French journalist Julien Tellouck noted that Nintendo even sent their lawyers to the Genki booth at CES 2025.
I spoke with the guy from Genki, just behind me. He told me that Nintendo had already sent lawyers their way. But Genki has nothing to worry about because they’ve never signed any papers with Nintendo, no confidentiality agreement, no NDA.

Reports indicate that Genki left CES 2025 a day before it concluded. Additionally, the company stated that their mock-up is based on an unofficial design obtained from external sources, not from Nintendo itself.
It's worth noting that neither Nintendo nor Genki has officially commented on the lawyer situation, so this information should be taken with a grain of skepticism.
