Switch 2 reportedly has magnetic Joy-Cons
Long-running Spanish video games website Vandal claims to have received information about the console from sources at peripherals manufacturers.
According to the site, Switch 2’s Joy-Con controllers will attach to the console magnetically. As current Joy-Cons connect to Switch using a rail system, it’s unclear if they’ll be forwards compatible with the new console.
The existing Nintendo Switch Pro Controller will work with Switch 2, it’s claimed.
It’s worth noting that prior to Switch OLED’s reveal in 2021, Vandal accurately reported on some of the console’s features, such as the inclusion of a new stand and an ethernet port.
VGC reported in February that Nintendo had internally delayed the launch of its next-gen console from this year to early 2025.
One publishing source suggested the delay was so that it could prepare stronger first-party software for the console, while others have claimed the move was made to avoid potential hardware supply issues.
VGC also reported last summer that development kits for Switch 2 were in the hands of key partner studios.
Two sources VGC spoke to at the time suggested that the console could launch with an LCD screen, instead of the more premium OLED, in order to bring down costs, especially considering the increased storage needed for higher fidelity games.
