Nintendo To Launch Joy-Con Charging Stand Peripheral This Year

As a long-time Nintendo Switch owner and avid gamer, I’m thrilled about the upcoming release of the Joy-Con Charging Stand. The convenience of being able to charge my Joy-Cons without connecting them to the console itself is a game-changer for me, especially since I often find myself juggling multiple controllers during local multiplayer sessions with friends and family.


Nintendo revealed that a new accessory for their Nintendo Switch consoles will become available this year. This information was shared through their various social media platforms, where people can purchase the Joy-Con Charging Stand starting from October 17, 2024.

As an excited fan, I’m thrilled to share that Nintendo Japan’s online store now offers the opportunity to pre-order the 2-Way Joy-Con Charging Stand. The listing reveals a price tag of approximately $20, €19, or £16 (3,300 Japanese Yen), and provides valuable insights into this accessory. It describes the charging stand’s functionality, explaining that it can charge two Joy-Cons simultaneously. Additionally, it outlines the compatibility with Nintendo Switch systems and mentions any peripheral uses that might enhance my gaming experience.

The Joy-Con Charging Stand, as described in its Nintendo Japan store listing translation, enables users to effortlessly charge their Joy-Cons without requiring a connection to the Switch console. Users can choose between charging their Joy-Cons by positioning them upright on the Charging Stand or setting the stand horizontally on a table.

As a Nintendo fan who owns multiple Joy-Cons, I’m thrilled about the new Charging Stand feature. This addition is perfect for me since I love playing couch co-op and local multiplayer games like Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, Super Mario Maker 2, Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, Cuphead, and Overcooked. With this charging stand, I can keep my Joy-Cons charged while we enjoy these titles together. Plus, it’s convenient for me when I’m playing in portable mode and need to charge Joy-Cons that aren’t currently being used. Nintendo really thought of their fans with this one!

As a gamer, I’ve discovered that the Joy-Con Charging Stand can charge my Switch Joy-Cons, but that’s not all! Based on my research, I’ve also learned that the “Family Computer Controller” for the Nintendo Switch is compatible with this accessory.
