Genki issues statement on Switch 2 lawsuit from Nintendo

Accessories maker Genki has provided a statement responding to Nintendo’s recent Switch 2 lawsuit.

Over the weekend, we heard about Nintendo’s initial legal action. The company is going after Genki for the stunt it pulled at CES 2025, bringing a dummy model of the then-unannounced system to CES 2025.

For Genki, at least currently, it sounds like it’s business as usual as it intends to show up at PAX with upcoming products. As for the lawsuit though, Genki says it is “taking it seriously and working with legal counsel to respond thoughtfully.”

The full statement reads:

You may have seen that Nintendo recently filed a lawsuit against us. We’re taking it seriously and working with legal counsel to respond thoughtfully.

What we can say is this: Genki has always been an independent company focused on building innovative gaming accessories for the community we love. We’re proud of the work we’ve done, and we stand by the quality and originality of our products.

While we can’t comment in detail, we’re continuing preparations to fulfill orders and showcase our newest products at PAX East this week.

We’re grateful for the overwhelming support we’ve received so far. We’ll share more when we can, but for now, we’re staying focused on doing what we do best: building gear for gamers.
