Oddly timed accessory is released as the Switch’s life cycle is winding down.
it signals the possbility that joycons can be used on the switch 2 for backwards compatibility reasons, but since they supposedly changed the rail system (magnets) old joycons cannot charge on the new device. Nintendo had no official way of charging joycons off device (only 3rd party devices), hence the requirement to make this charger
Smart theory.
This is the correct answer of why. It’s the only way it makes sense if we’re really going with “odd timing means it must have a reason” and it’s not just a Nintendo blunder
Did they not already have this? There are literally hundreds of these, are they really all third-party? JFC, Nintendo…
Nintendo has the apparatus that lets you turn two Joycons into a bigger “controller”. I don’t think you can charge the ‘cons through it, though. I think it’s just a piece of plastic.
Such an odd choice because these things have existed for years. I have one that charges 4 JoyCons.
Conclusion: Switch 2 is around a very big corner.
🎶 It’ll be comin’ ‘round the mountain when it comes. 🎵
Paradox did this same shit with a CS DLC and immediately announcing CS2.
