Summary
Even though the launch of theNintendo Switch 2is only a little more than a month away, it’s going to be a long time beforeNintendoleaves the originalSwitchbehind. That should apply to you too, as not only will almost all your Switch games be compatible with the Switch 2, but some of your accessories can come with you to Nintendo’s next-gen too.
Even the OG Switch Joy-Con will be semi-compatible with the Switch 2 despite the new way in which the controllers will connect to the upcoming console. Since the Switch 2 will only come with two Joy-Con as standard, andprices of Switch 2 accessories have already been increasedin an attempt to combat tariffs, if you need some extra Joy-Con, you might want to buy them now, especially when you can pick up a pair for so little.
Due to the different connection method, original Switch Joy-Con can only be used wirelessly with the Switch 2 while it’s docked. You will also need to use your original Switch to charge them.
