Nintendo has filed a lawsuit against accessory manufacturer Genki for showing off 3D-printed mockups of the Nintendo Switch 2

Genki’s most famous Switch 2-related incident came in January 2025, when an exhibition page for Genki’s presence at the Computer Electronics Show 2025 was posted. The page read, “Happy to discuss any Switch 2 info we may have as well as the stuff we’re making for it.”

Shortly after this, Genki CEO Edawrd Tsai “personally showed off the 3D-printed mockups and stated to different reporters that Genki had or had access to an authentic “Switch 2,” on which Genki based the mockups, renderings, and 3D-printed mockups,” according to the suit.

It was claimed in January that lawyers representing Nintendo approached Genki on the CES showfloor.

Nintendo has also highlighted that following this, Genki displayed a video at its CES, both showing off a render of the then-unannounced Nintendo Switch 2, a render which included Nintendo trademarks such as the Nintendo Switch 2 logo.

It's not like the Genki CEO Edawrd Tsai doesn't know what Nintendo is capable of doing when it comes to suing but he went ahead and did this. Let them go to court.

We may not know the backing Mr Edward got. Let's hope this is resolved as soon as possible.

Hope their days worth of fame was worth it to have all their assets taken.

When this kind of event comes up, I'm always surprised because I thought they should know that there is something called intellectual property and patent law and they shouldn't break those laws. I'm quite sure that Nintendo is just protecting its designs and technology, which is right.
