"We didn't expect this to happen," Tsai said. "We told people no photos because it's really just to meet with distributors and retailers." Genki's surprise at the reactions to their mock-ups underscores the excitement and high anticipation surrounding the Nintendo Switch 2's eventual release.
"Everything's pretty much out there now," he said. "I don't think anything's really hidden anymore... There are maybe four or five prominent [leakers] and we've been chasing what we can." Tsai's comments reflect the openness and pervasiveness of information leaks in the gaming industry.
The distinctive features of the Switch 2 mock-up include a button allowing Joy-Con controllers to detach more easily. This innovation, alongside its larger size akin to the Steam Deck, indicates a significant evolution from the original design.
For companies like Genki and Dbrand, it wouldn't make sense to begin manufacturing add-ons for the new device unless it was absolutely sure of what the final build looks like. This highlights the confidence in the impending launch of the Switch 2.
