• Nintendo’s lawyers visited accessory maker Genki after showing off a Switch 2 model at CES.
• The company says it didn’t sign an NDA, so there’s no wrongdoing.
• Nintendo says the design is unofficial and was not provided by the company.

Despite months of leaks about the Switch 2, Nintendo has continued to remain silent. However, its lawyers have remained active, attacking not just emulators but also Genki, the company behind the dummy unit seen at CES last week.

A video from French journalist Julien Tellouck claims that Nintendo’s lawyers approached the company’s booth, which has gained significant press coverage for having a physical mockup of the Nintendo Switch 2. While it reportedly wasn’t on display for the public, Genki was happy for visitors to test its accessories on the mockup at the booth. There’s also a rendered video on its website that doesn’t leave much to the imagination.
