Nintendo Switch 2 has an extra USB-C port on top, and I hope that means we don't have to deal with a fiddly dock door for controller chargers and ethernet adapters

It's 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Nintendo Switch 2 day, which means the whole internet is breaking apart every detail in the scant official reveal trailer. One detail that might've slipped your notice is that the 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:gaming handheld features a second USB-C port, and I'm hop🧸eful that means the new console won't make me suffer with fiddly dock ports the way its predecessor did.

The 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Switch 2 reveal trailer gave us a close look at all the ports that'll be available on the console, and similar to the original console there's a USB-C port at the b𒉰ottom that will presumably connect to the dock. But unlike the first Switch, Switch 2 features a♛ second USB-C port on top, sandwiched between the headphone jack and what appears to be an exhaust port.

That'll give Switch 2 users🧸 a whole lot more accessory options when playing undocked. Nintendo hasn't confirmed any specifics about accessories like a pro controller or ethernet adapter yet, but a second port could✨ let you, say, charge an extra controller while keeping the console plugged into the wall when playing undocked.

It also hopefully means we won't have to deal with a dock door as we did with the previous console. I don't know about you, but I hate feeling like I'm about to break that flimsy-feeling dock every time I need to swap some cables around. We don't know what kind of port options the Switch 2 dock itself will have this time around, but it looks much thinner than the original in this ♛trailer, which has me similarly hopeful that the annoying plastic door is going to be a thing of the past, too.
