Many popular games for the Nintendo Switch are designed for multiplayer fun. the Joy-Con controllers stand out as they can function as one controller or split into two for shared gaming.They come in various colors, making them enjoyable to collect. For those who prefer a more traditional feel, there’s also the Pro Controller available. If you own multiple Switch controllers, you might wonder if they will work with the new Switch 2 or if you'll need to buy new ones for multiplayer sessions.
Will Your Old Joy-Cons Work with the Switch 2?
The upcoming Switch 2 features an upgraded set of Joy-Cons that include several enhancements aimed at improving gameplay experiences. A key concern is weather your existing Joy-Cons will still be usable since they lack some new features like a C button and mouse support. Fortunately, Nintendo has ensured that your old Joy-cons won’t become useless; you can still connect them wirelessly to the new console.
Though, charging these older controllers requires either your previous system or its charging dock as they cannot charge directly from the new console.
Pro Controller Compatibility
A fresh version of the Pro Controller is set to launch alongside the Switch 2,but rest assured that your current Pro Controller will remain compatible as well. You can connect it wirelessly and charge it using USB through the new dock.
Other Compatible Controllers
If you're a fan of retro gaming, you'll be pleased to know that other classic controllers like those from SNES, N64, and Genesis are also compatible with this system.
