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

Nintendo Switch 2: Power Up with a 60W Charger?

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

Recent leaks have offered glimpses of the Switch 2, including images seemingly showing the console itself and its magnetic Joy-Cons. These images, while unverified, fuel anticipation for the console's official reveal, expected by March 2025.

A journalist, citing a reliable source, shared an image of the Switch 2's charging dock, further supporting the 60W power requirement. Using the original Switch's charger might work, but it's likely to be inefficient. Therefore, opting for a 60W cable is recommended for optimal charging.

Charging Cable Compatibility Concerns

This isn't the only rumor swirling around the Switch 2. Other leaks detail developer kits and potential launch titles, hinting at powerful hardware comparable to the PlayStation 4 Pro, though performance specifics remain debated.

While Nintendo will include a charger, gamers should be aware of the potential incompatibility with their existing Switch chargers. Losing the included 60W cable might necessitate purchasing a new one, rather than relying on the older, less powerful option. The accuracy of this information, however, remains unconfirmed until official announcements from Nintendo.
