The rumour has it the older joycons can still be used wirelessly, just not physically connected.

- jabl 2y agoSo how are you going to charge them then? Have the old Switch 1 lying around as a charging station?
- ChocolateGod 2y agoYou can buy chargers for joycons
- flutas 2y agoYou can get standalone charging docks for them, but I agree it kinda sucks. I wouldn't be surprised to see new functionality that would pin games to the switch 2 controllers though, gotta sell new accessories.
- op00to 2y agoI have multiple charging "controller docks" that you can plug the joycons into and then use them like a two-stick-controller and charge via usb-c.

- fredoralive 2y agoThe version of the grip that you buy as an accessory (HAC-012) can charge the joycons. However the pack in one (HAC-011) can't. Looking around, it appears that Nintendo have also released an official "Joy-con charging stand (2-way)", suspiciously it seems they only launched it in October 2024, when various 3rd party chargers have been around for years. There's also the official AA battery packs. Yes, really.
- toast0 2y agoHmmm, I wonder if the Nintendo charging stand will charge the NES Joy-Cons, cause the BestBuy stand I have won't (no big deal currently, the switch is usually on the dock and I charge the NES controllers on it)
- xyzzy_plugh 2y ago> This charging stand can also charge the wireless full-size NES Nintendo Entertainment System Controllers controllers for Nintendo Switch
- isk517 2y agoThis would be extremely welcome news. Local multiplayer has always been Nintendo's bread and butter, so being able to keep using controllers from the previous system is a huge boon. Also means not having to invest in a new 'Pro' controller hopefully.
