Before Nintendo finally revealed the Switch 2 design in mid -January, you may remember a story from the beginning of this month in which a joke of the console was surprised at CES 2025. The dummy unit was brought to the event and was shown by Gankee, a game -maker company, who claimed that the unit had no accurate joke of Real Switch 2. In a surprising turning point in the events, Nintendo’s lawyers have now filed a lawsuit against whom.
Nintendo’s Legal complaintFiled in the US District Court for the Central District of California, who has been accused of violating Nintendo’s trademark, unfair competition and wrong advertising. Specifically, the game publisher believes that whose switch 2 wants to “invest” the demand and it seems as if their products are officially approved or connected to Nintendo. It also alleges that later, who made “contradictory and contradictory” statements, whether it was occupied by the real switch 2.
According to court documents, Nintendo says:
In early December 2024, the defendant launched a strategic campaign aimed at taking advantage of the public interest around Nintendo’s next generation console. In January 2025, the defendant launched the advertisement that it had unauthorized access to the upcoming Nintendo Switch 2 console, which had not yet been released, nor was it publicly disclosed by Nintendo. The defendant also advertised that due to its unique access to a real unmanned Nintendo Switch 2 console, it can produce gaming accessories that are compatible with Nintendo Switch 2. Further, who announced that he would sell the alleged compatible accessories with the release of his console of Nintendo. The real Nintendo Switch 2, after the preliminary claims of access to the console, were contradictory and contradictory, the defendant later said that it was never in the consolation. Nevertheless, the defendant has retained its representation to the consumers that after the release of the console, its accessories will be compatible with the Nintendo Switch 2.
Nintendo argued that “it would not be possible to ensure the corresponding of the defendant’s accessories unless the defendant had access to the Nintendo Switch 2 console,” after which he insisted that he never provided a console. Because of this, Nintendo is convinced that either who misled users or that “illegally or illegally obtained the Nintendo Switch 2, or the public received the proprietary technical information about the Nintendo Switch 2 before the release of the console.”

In addition, Nintendo says Ganke was using his trademark to deliberately confuse the public that there was a kind of contribution to Nintendo. Judicial documents revealed a video played at their booths, showing Switch 2 and its dock 3D render. Nintendo argued that the confusion was so important that he had to issue a statement in which it was clear that his joke was unofficial.
The game publisher is requesting that the court prevent Gankey from using the “Nintendo Switch” in its marketing. It also asks to force any product or ads that use Nintendo’s copyright. In the upper part of it, Nintendo wants Geni to pay for damages, pay legal fees, and hand over any profits far away from relevant sales.
