  • The dock can be used to charge two Joy-Con at a time, separate from the ones connected to your Switch.
  • The stand can also be detached so that what remains can be used as a controller, similar to the Switch's Joy-Con grip.

The 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Nintendo Switch became the longest-tenured Nint🌃endo🅰 home console of all time this month. Still, you'd be forgiven for thinking otherwise considering how much attention and support it continues to receive. Not only via upcoming games - there are new Mario & Luigi and Zelda games coming before the end of 2024 - but also via new accessories. This morning, Nintendo an𓄧nounced a new two-way Joy-Con charging dock,💫 available to buy from October 17, 2024.

The charging stand is an officially licensed Nintendo product that plugs into your dock via USB and can be used to charge two Joy-Con even when the Switch itself is in use. So if your Switch is otherwise occupied,🍸 whether it ༒be for play or to charge the Joy-Con it came with, you can use this new stand to charge two other Joy-Con, either to prepare them for a multiplayer session or so that you have spares ready to go if your mid-game and your controllers run out of power.

The reason the charging dock is a two-way accessory is because it can also be used as a controller. The stand itself can be removed so that it doesn't get in the way, making what's left very similar to the Joy-Con grip that comes with the Switch. was the first to share the news about the new accessory, and although it hasn't found its way onto Nintendo Of America's social media accounts yet, the images have been shared by Nintendo UK, implying the accessory will be getting a worldwide release on October 17.

As for how much it's going to cost, it's a little hard to tell right now. Pre-orders for the two-way charging stand are open in Japan and the accessory costs 3,300 yen. That's roughly $21, but Japanese prices don't tend to directly translate into other currencies when it comes to this sort of thing. The Switch's original charging dock, which is out of stock at Nintendo at the moment, costs $29.99, and I'd expect this two-way version to cost about the same.

Nintendo notes in its charging dock announcement that your Switch-compatible NES controllers can also be charged on it.
