Long before the Nintendo Switch 2 was officially revealed, leaks and rumors suggested that the new console's Joy-Con controllers would attach to the system magnetically, but it turns out that this is an idea that's been in the works at the company for some time.
While Nintendo hasn't given a direct 'yes' on whether the Switch 2 Joy-Con controllers are definitely magnetic, the way they attach to the system with a snap in the reveal trailer certainly suggests so, and again, this follows multiple other accurate leaks. It makes even more sense when you consider that the producer of the Nintendo Switch, Yoshiaki Koizumi, said back in February 2017 that he was "particularly excited" about using that idea on the original console, but it just didn't work well enough back then.
