Nintendo filed a lawsuit against accessory maker Genki in California after the company showed a mock-up of the Nintendo Switch 2 at CES 2025. The gaming giant claims Genki misled people about product compatibility with the unreleased console. Nintendo argues that Genki either lied about future compatibility or illegally obtained early access to the system. The lawsuit states Genki used Nintendo trademarks without permission when marketing their accessories.
Genki responded on social media, saying they take the matter seriously and work with legal counsel. The company says it remains committed to making original gaming accessories for its community. Genki plans to continue preparing orders and will show products at the upcoming PAX East event. They expressed thanks for public support but offered no specific details about the legal case. The actual Nintendo Switch 2 launches next month, according to the report.
