As someone who has spent countless hours gaming on various consoles, I can confidently say that the rumored design of the Nintendo Switch 2 is nothing short of a game-changer. The magnetic Joy-Cons that snap into place are a brilliant innovation, eliminating the confusion and frustration that came with the rail-slide Joy-Cons in the original model.
Just a few days following the 2024 Game Awards, there’s been renewed chatter online concerning Nintendo’s upcoming next-generation console. The buzz encompasses everything from potential release dates in February 2025 to its compatibility with cartridges from the original Nintendo Switch. These leaks certainly stir anticipation among Nintendo enthusiasts for the next-gen console.
Besides sporting a bigger display and a more rounded Joy-Con design, the rumored Nintendo Switch 2 models feature intriguing magnetic Joy-Cons that lock securely in position when attached.
As a gamer, I find this new design way more straightforward than the original Joy-Cons for Nintendo Switch, which often left me puzzled while trying to slide them into their tracks. Quite a few times, I’d end up with my Joy-Cons stuck on the incorrect side of the tablet, causing some frustrating moments during gameplay.
As a devoted gaming enthusiast, I can’t help but appreciate the genius of a handheld console with magnetic snap-on controllers. This design choice just makes sense – it’s like they were made to stick together seamlessly!
In a YouTube video posted by @NerdNest, he demonstrated how the Joy-Cons can easily attach to the tablet. Although the Joy-Cons appear larger, they now seem sturdier as they no longer have the slide-on rail. Instead, that part of the Joy-Con has a more substantial construction with larger SR/SL buttons and a magnetic lock system.
Nintendo is renowned for crafting remarkably unique controller designs since their initial console releases. Ranging from the innovative GBA SP design to the GameCube’s and Wii’s controllers, Nintendo consistently takes an unconventional yet captivating approach when designing their gaming accessories.
As a gamer, I found the Joy-Cons of the original Nintendo Switch intriguing because they managed to blend the mobility and functionality of the Wii-mote with the familiarity of traditional controller gameplay. It was like having the best of both worlds!

Remarkably, the Lenovo Legion Go is among the portable gaming devices that come with detachable magnetic controllers. Unlike Nintendo’s offerings, the Lenovo Legion Go caters to a slightly distinct market. However, the addition of a magnetic snap-on feature in the upcoming Switch 2 could prove advantageous for Nintendo enthusiasts.
Should you’re uncertain about the forthcoming Switch 2, let your doubts subside knowing that it will indeed possess backward compatibility, allowing you to enjoy your previous Nintendo Switch games.
