One of the most rumored aspects about the successor to the Nintendo Switch is its backward compatibility with the games and accessories that we find today in the Big N console. However, A new report has revealed that Joy-Con of the following hardware would be different.
According to Vandal, who has reported accurate information about the Switch OLED in the past, he claims to have details from manufacturers who are working alongside Nintendo. In his new report, they have mentioned that The Switch 2 would have Joy-Con that connect magnetically to the console. In this way, it has been mentioned that the current hardware controls would not be compatible with the successor to the Switch.
Because the current Switch uses a rail system to connect the Joy-Con, it is very likely that these controllers will no longer be able to be used on the next Big N console. Fortunately, Currently available Pro Controllers will still be usablebecause these work wirelessly.
Let us remember that previous reports have indicated that the Switch 2 will be a larger console compared to the current Switch, so it was always in doubt whether or not the Joy-Con can be connected to this new console. This is information that Vandal reaffirms. While specific details have not been revealed, It has been mentioned that the console will not reach what is seen on the Steam Deck. Although physically it seems that it will be impossible to connect these controls to the hardware, it is not ruled out that they can be connected wirelessly.
While Vandal has shared accurate information in the past, we have to wait for Nintendo to release official details about its next console. According to other reports, The Switch 2 would arrive in March 2025, so an event could be held later this year to reveal the successor to its current console. On related topics, this would be the new dock for the Switch 2. Likewise, this would be the price of this console.
Author's Note:
It's a shame that the Joy-Con, an item that many have tried to collect over the years, are not compatible with the new console, at least physically. However, this was more than obvious as soon as it was announced that the Switch 2 would be much larger than the current console.
