Nintendo Switch 2 Adds a Second USB-C Port: What It Means for Gamers

Nintendo has officially revealed the Nintendo Switch 2, and fans are diving into every detail from the trailer.

One key feature catching attention is the addition of a second USB-C port, located on the top of the console next to the headphone jack and exhaust vent.

This extra port offers new possibilities for accessories and aims to fix some of the frustrations with the original Switch design.

For instance, users may now charge a controller or connect devices without relying on the dock.

The original Switch’s dock, with its plastic door for managing cables, often felt fragile and inconvenient. The thinner design of the new dock, seen in the trailer, suggests it might ditch the door altogether.

The second USB-C port could also mean better support for pro controllers, Ethernet adapters, and other peripherals while playing in handheld mode.

Nintendo has not confirmed specific accessory details yet, but the change is expected to make the system more user-friendly.

Stay tuned for more updates on Nintendo Switch 2, including backwards compatibility and other features.
