Rumor: Switch 2 Won’t Be Compatible With Vital Accessory

Nintendo Switch 2: Power Up with a New Charger?

Rumors suggest the upcoming Nintendo Switch 2 may require a more powerful charger than its predecessor. While leaks indicate a design similar to the original Switch, a recent report claims the new console will ship with a 60W power cord, incompatible with the original Switch's charger.

Recent leaks have offered glimpses of the Switch 2, including images seemingly confirming a similar design to the original and showcasing magnetic Joy-Cons. However, a new image, purportedly from a reliable source, reveals a charging dock for the Switch 2. This image, shared by journalist Laura Kate Dale, further fuels speculation about the increased power requirements.

Charging Cable Compatibility Concerns

Using the original Switch's charger might work, but it's unlikely to be optimal. A 60W charger is recommended for efficient charging. This incompatibility, if true, is a noteworthy detail for consumers.

Other Switch 2 Rumors

Other rumors circulating include details about development kits sent to game developers, hinting at potential titles like a new Mario Kart and a Monolith Soft project. The Switch 2's graphical capabilities are speculated to be comparable to, or slightly less powerful than, the PlayStation 4 Pro.

While Nintendo remains officially silent, these leaks paint a picture of a console with upgraded power needs, potentially necessitating a new charging cable. Gamers anticipating the Switch 2's release (expected by March 2025) should keep this rumor in mind.
