In January, Genki made waves at CES 2025 when the company showed off a Switch 2 mockupmonths before Nintendo officially announced the console. That led to some fireworks when Nintendo sued Genki in May over its ”unauthorized” Switch 2 lineup of accessories. Now, the legal battle has ended with a settlement, and Genki will be paying damages to Nintendo.
The settlement between Nintendo and Genki has been filed with the court (via IGN), and notes that there is a judgment against the latter for an unspecified amount of damages, which will be kept confidential between the two parties. Shortly after CES 2025, reports emerged that Nintendo had sent lawyers over to Genki’s booth about the Switch 2 mockup that was on display. However, Genki asserted that it had never signed a nondisclosure agreement with Nintendo, and that it wasn’t bound by any legal document.
