January 7th 2025.
Come on, Nintendo, just announce it already! The anticipation for the Switch 2 is at an all-time high, with fans eagerly waiting for any information about the console. And while Nintendo has yet to make any formal announcements, leaks about the charger for the Switch 2 have started to surface online.
There's not much information available about the games that will be released for the Switch 2, but there's no shortage of leaks about the hardware. In fact, the frequency of leaks has only increased since the end of 2024. Just this week, fans were excited to discover that the Joy-Con controllers may be able to double as a computer mouse. And there's even speculation that the Switch 2 will have the capability to run ports of PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X games.
Today, even more details about the Switch 2 have been leaked, this time about the dock. According to games journalist Laura Kate Dale, who has a history of accurately leaking information about the original Switch, the console will not be compatible with the original Switch's charger. She shared a photo of the dock on her social media accounts, which shows that the Switch 2 will come with a 60W charger, compared to the original's 39W.
But why would the Switch 2 need a different charger? One theory is that the dock itself will have new functionality, potentially offering better performance while the console is connected to it. This has been a popular idea among fans ever since the announcement of the OLED Model. However, Nintendo has yet to confirm any major changes to the dock beyond minor improvements to resolution and frame rate.
Even Amazon seems to be in on the secret, with listings for Switch 2 cases in Japan. While the accompanying images don't reveal anything new, it's clear that the design of the Switch 2 is no longer a secret.
But don't expect any further leaks from Dale, as she has made it clear that she doesn't have any additional information to share. And with rumors of an official reveal happening before the end of January, it seems like fans won't have to wait much longer to get all the details about the highly anticipated console.
We can't help but wonder what new features the Switch 2 will have that would require a more powerful charger. Perhaps it will offer significantly higher performance while docked, or maybe there will be other surprises in store for us. Whatever the case may be, it's clear that the Switch 2 is shaping up to be a unique and exciting addition to the Nintendo family.
But until we have official confirmation from Nintendo, all we can do is speculate and eagerly await the release of the Switch 2.
