As the recent dummy designs from Nintendo’s CES presentation sparked widespread analysis and speculation, they also seem to have prompted the company to finally address the topic of their unannounced console.
Accurate reports indicate that Genki, a prominent manufacturer of audio equipment, has surprisingly revived its plans to produce an analog stick accessory for the Nintendo Switch after initially basing their decision on spotting a development prototype of the rumored Nintendo Switch 2 console at E3.
The unprecedented shift in perspective emerges from a revealing interview granted by a Genki consultant to GameSpark, subsequently translated by Automaton for global dissemination. In a departure from earlier claims that their Change 2 prototype was solely based on an exact change model, Genki now concedes that their design was actually inspired by leaks of the console that were circulating within the industry.
Genki clarified that the product’s dimensions are still under consideration, and candidly acknowledged that it has yet to review a precise Change 2.
Nintendo has recently undergone a significant shift in their narrative, with the company clarifying that the “Genki” hardware showcased at CES was unofficial and not supplied by them.
“Solely Nintendo will determine whether any equipment is compatible with the Switch 2.” This change stuff is getting increasingly bizarre at this level, isn’t it? Although leaks and hype surrounding high-end hardware like this are typically abundant, what we’re witnessing here is surprisingly in line with industry norms. Despite the unexpectedness of it all, people still need some basic understanding of the topic, which was precisely what made Genki’s surprising CES mockups so peculiar in their ability to garner widespread attention.
