The Nintendo Switch turned seven back in March, and with its successor console (commonly referred to as the Switch 2) on the way, you might think Nintendo would be winding down the first-generation Switch. That’s what makes the announcement of a new official Joy-Con Charging Stand rather perplexing.
Earlier today (July 18), Nintendo Japan revealed the Joy-Con Charging Stand (Two-Way) accessory will launch in the region on October 17. Following this, Nintendo U.K. confirmed the charging stand will launch in the United Kingdom on the same date. At the time of writing, we’re still awaiting news of a U.S. release, but we can assume it’ll be confirmed in due course.
