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 60W power cord is reportedly needed for optimal charging, rendering the original Switch's charger potentially insufficient.
Recent leaks have fueled speculation about the Switch 2's design and features. Images circulating online suggest a familiar form factor, echoing the original Switch's design with potential enhancements. Leaked photos of magnetic Joy-Con controllers further support previous claims regarding their attachment mechanism in handheld mode.
A recent image shared by journalist Laura Kate Dale, purportedly from a reliable source, showcases the Switch 2's charging dock. This leak reinforces the claim that the console will ship with a 60W power adapter, implying incompatibility with the original Switch's lower-wattage charger. While charging with the older cable might be possible, it's likely to be less efficient, making a 60W cable the recommended option.
Original Switch Charger Compatibility Concerns
Numerous rumors surrounding the Switch 2 have emerged ahead of its official reveal. Earlier leaks detailed development kits provided to game developers, hinting at potential titles including a new Mario Kart installment and Monolith Soft's Project X Zone. Speculation regarding hardware capabilities places the Switch 2's graphical power on par with, or possibly slightly below, the PlayStation 4 Pro.
Although the Switch 2 will include its own charger, the potential incompatibility with the original Switch's charger could be a concern for some players. Should users misplace their Switch 2's power cord, using the older, lower-wattage cable is discouraged unless confirmed as a viable alternative. The accuracy of this information, originating from Laura Kate Dale and an anonymous source, remains unverified. The official reveal, expected by March 2025, will clarify these details.
