With Switch 2 Coming And After 7 Years, Nintendo Releases Its Own Joy-Con Dock

As a longtime Nintendo Switch enthusiast, I couldn’t be more thrilled about the recent announcement of the Joy-Con Charging Stand (Two-Way) accessory! Having spent countless hours playing games on my beloved Switch, I can attest to the importance of having fully charged controllers. While the traditional method of charging Joy-Cons by connecting them to the console works just fine, this new dock offers a convenient solution for those who prefer to keep their spare controllers at the ready.


A new charging dock for Nintendo Switch’s Joy-Con controllers has been announced, allowing users to charge extra controllers even when the console is connected to a TV. While Joy-Cons can be charged directly from the Switch, this additional dock is ideal for those who prefer to keep their backup controllers juiced up while playing in docked mode.

Using the Joy-Con Charging Stand (Two-Way) accessory, which will be available starting October 17th, you can effortlessly recharge your Nintendo Switch Joy-Con controllers and NES controllers.

“This Joy-Con Charging Stand (Two-Way) accessory lets you conveniently charge your Nintendo Switch Joy-Con controllers and NES controllers. Simply attach the Joy-Cons to the stand’s grips, which can be detached and placed on a table if needed. A USB-C cable connects to the top of the stand, allowing you to potentially use the grip as a controller. However, please note that a separate comfortable Joy-Con grip comes with your Nintendo Switch.”

As a curious gamer, I’ve heard some exciting news about the new dock for the Nintendo Switch. However, no official US price or release date has been announced yet. But, hold on to your joysticks, fellow gamers in the UK! You’ll be able to get your hands on it starting October 17. And here’s the cherry on top: Your existing Nintendo Entertainment System controllers for the Switch will work seamlessly with this new dock.

As a dedicated gamer, I’m excitedly anticipating the upcoming announcement from Nintendo. They’ve hinted that we can expect the unveiling of their next-gen console, the Switch 2, within the next few months. Nintendo has made it official that this reveal will occur during their current fiscal year which concludes in March 2025. To prevent any potential shortages and scalping issues, they’re working diligently to ensure a plentiful supply of the new console to cater to the expected high demand from gamers like myself.

As a passionate gamer, I’m excited about the upcoming releases for my Nintendo Switch. In the near future, you’ll find me exploring The Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom’s enchanting world, joining Super Mario Party Jamboree for some lively mini-games, embarking on a new adventure with Mario & Luigi: Brothership, delving into Professor Layton and the New World of Steam’s intriguing puzzles, revisiting Donkey Kong Country Returns HD’s classic platforming experience, and finally, diving back into the Metroid Prime 4: Beyond universe for more thrilling space exploration.

For those with an interest in collecting special editions, you have the option to securely purchase before release the exclusive Hyrule Edition Nintendo Switch Lite.
