Recent rumors suggest the upcoming Nintendo Switch 2 may require a higher-wattage power adapter than its predecessor. While leaks indicate a design similar to the original Switch, a 60W charging cable is reportedly included, implying incompatibility with the original Switch's charger.
Several leaks have surfaced, offering glimpses of the console's potential design and features. Images circulating online suggest a familiar form factor, with minor upgrades. Alleged photos of magnetic Joy-Con controllers further support previous claims regarding their tablet mode connection.
A recent image shared by journalist Laura Kate Dale, purportedly from a reliable source, showcases the Switch 2's charging dock. This image, along with reports of a bundled 60W power cable, strongly suggests the original Switch's charging cable will be insufficient for optimal charging. While charging might be possible with the older cable, it's likely to be less efficient.
Original Switch Charger May Be Inadequate
Numerous rumors regarding the Switch 2 have emerged in anticipation of its official reveal, expected by March 2025. These include details on developer kits, potential game titles (like a new Mario Kart and Project X Zone), and speculation about its graphical capabilities, potentially comparable to the PlayStation 4 Pro, though some sources suggest a slightly lower performance level.
While the Switch 2 will include its own charger, the reported incompatibility with the original Switch's cable is a noteworthy detail. Gamers who misplace their Switch 2's charger should avoid using the older, lower-wattage cable as a replacement, unless confirmed otherwise by Nintendo.
