Nintendo is suing the accessory manufacturer that showed off Switch 2 early | VGC
A 3D-printed mockup of the then-unannounced Switch 2 was widely circulated in January…

Nintendo has filed a lawsuit against accessory manufacturer Genki for showing off 3D-printed mockups of the Nintendo Switch 2 ahead of its official announcement.
Nintendo is taking the Genki parent company Human Things to court in California over trademark infringement, unfair competition, and false advertising for its conduct around the Nintendo Switch 2 earlier this year.
If found in Nintendo's favour, the suit requires Genki to destroy all products related to Nintendo Switch and Nintendo Switch 2, and to cease using Nintendo's trademarks again.
Nintendo is also seeking to recover "all damages it has sustained as a result of Defendant's infringement, unfair competition, and false advertising, and that said damages be trebled."
Nintendo's suit lays out what it calls a "timeline of Genki's wrongdoing," which began in December 2024 when the company publicly tweeted in response to GameStop CEO Ryan Cohen to discuss "the launch switch 2 accessories [Genki was] working on."
