Nintendo has revealed a new Joy-Con charging station for the Switch, letting players charge their controllers without connecting them to the console. That on its own isn’t particularly notable — both the PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S already have an official controller dock — but what makes the recent announcement intriguing is its timing. Not only did Nintendo wait seven years after the Switch’s launch to release the Joy-Con charging dock, it’s also coming less than a year after the Switch 2 is set to be revealed.
