Nintendo Switch 2’s Magnetic Joy-Cons Might Lack Backward Compatibility: Rumor


Nintendo Switch 2 rumors have circulated online for years, but this time they stem from a source with a track record of accurately reporting on the Switch OLED’s features in 2021. According to Spanish publication Vandal, new information about Nintendo’s forthcoming handheld has emerged. Allegedly, accessory makers had access to a prototype unit, its design concealed, allowing them to ascertain its size and shape.

Vandal’s report suggests that the Switch 2 will be larger than its predecessor but smaller than the Steam Deck. Additionally, the console’s design is expected to evolve with the introduction of new Joy-Con controllers, which will reportedly connect to the console via a magnetic system.

Consequently, the exclusion of the current rail system from the new design suggests that the existing Joy-Con controllers may not be compatible with the new magnetic system. Furthermore, the report suggests that the current Pro Controller will remain compatible with the Switch 2.

Expected Release Date for Nintendo Switch 2

Amidst numerous conflicting reports surrounding the release date of the Nintendo Switch 2, this report offers some clarity. According to this source, the next-generation console is anticipated to launch in early 2025, possibly aligning with earlier speculations of a delay in its release.

Given the abundance of rumors circulating online, it’s wise to approach this new information cautiously until official confirmation from Nintendo emerges. While the company has yet to make any official statements regarding the Switch 2, initial reports suggest a potential release in March 2025.
