Since the year 2025, there has been daily news about Nintendo. The news of the Nintendo Switch 2 has been leaked over and over again. Leaks have revealed everything from the internals to accessories. The biggest leak, worse than the handsome hunk's clothes, is the Nintendo Switch 2 model. Many people have said, "It's over, Nintendo. You have nothing left for fans to wow their games." But there is another side that argues, "As long as Nintendo doesn't come out and speak or sue the person who leaked the model, that means the prototype model is not real." Most recently, there was news that Nintendo sent lawyers to take care of Genki, a company that released a Nintendo Switch 2 prototype at the 2025 Consumer Electronics Show.
This lawsuit story comes from the news a few days ago at the 2025 Consumer Electronics Show held in Las Vegas. At the event, Genki claimed that they were a company that made accessories for the Nintendo Switch 2, along with showing off Nintendo Switch 2 accessories and a prototype model that they claimed was the upcoming Nintendo Switch 2. Let's not forget that Nintendo is notorious for being very protective of its copyrights. Genki's reveal of the Nintendo Switch 2 model was like a big slap in the face for Nintendo, and now Nintendo is so unhappy that they've already filed a lawsuit.
According to French journalist Julien Tellac, he received information from an unnamed Genki insider, saying that Nintendo's lawyers had contacted Genki to sue them over the release of the Nintendo Switch 2 prototype on social media since early January 2025. Genki responded that the company had not signed a non-disclosure agreement with Nintendo, so it had no right to sue. After receiving the lawyer's notice, Genki left the trade show one day earlier than the scheduled end date.
In the United States, possession of stolen property is prohibited under federal law, 18 USC § 2315 and § 659. If Genki had purchased a prototype Nintend Switch 2 on the black market in Japan, it would have been illegal under Articles 253 and 254 of the Japanese Penal Code. While all of these laws only deal with criminal cases, Nintendo could theoretically pursue a civil lawsuit against Genki for theft or conversion of property in either the United States or Japan. Big brother, who doesn't play with anyone else? Play with grandpa Nintendo.
When it's like this, many people think and analyze whether Nintendo's lawsuit over the leaked model is true. Because if it's not true, Nintendo wouldn't care and stay quiet and let the issue die down. But coming out to sue like this is like accepting that the leaked model is true. We can only listen with an open mind and not make any conclusions. Because it's possible that the leaked model might not be true. But Nintendo is suing to protect its own company's reputation. Or it might be the real leaked model. We'll have to wait and see. If there's news, we'll rush to report it. Stay tuned.
