It's bad enough for Nintendo that there has seen quite a steady stream of Switch 2 leaks and rumors for a month now. However, the beginning of CES 2025 seems to have opened the floodgates a little. We've already reported on a Switch 2 dummy model that is there, but it seems that this isn't all that's coming from the tech event.

French journalist Nicolas Lellouche, who writes for Numerama, shared some additional details on social media. Numerama has been compared to being France's version of The Verge, and is considered very reliable. That said, Lellouche revealed on social media that Genki are not the only accessory makers at CES 2025 that are fueling the Switch 2 rumor mill. In fact, he notes of "several accessory makers showing off a model of the console and its accessories". They also learned from Genki that they claim to own a real Switch 2.

The most interesting part of Lellouche's info came when a fan asked about the Switch 2's reveal and release date. Lellouche says that, although no one they spoke to seems to have information on when the console will be revealed, He says that "everyone says April" will be when the console actually releases. As usual, this isn't coming directly from Nintendo, so it is yet another rumor to add to the collection. Nevertheless, you cansee Lellouche's social media post about the matter down below.
