Nintendo Switch 2 Joy-Cons Almost Missed Out On A Helpful Feature

Thankfully, Nintendo heard us loud and clear by ditching the old idea of Joy-Cons sliding into the console for connection. The new Switch 2 is coming with new software and hardware features, which the Switch fandom has spoken highly of. The new Joy-Cons now attach to the console magnetically, making it easier (and quicker) to detach from the console. At least that was the initial notion from the developers; everything seemed fine.

The developers saw an issue that, while different and innovative, could still cause problems for children, hence the modification of the release button pushing the magnetic joy-cons from the console. This will protect all users from any issues when removing the Joy-Con from the console.

Now that the official news has been released, some have stated that this is an idea that seems easy and quite common sense, right? From the outside looking in, as gamers, we can speak about what we could have or would have done. However, the developers are in control of their creative processes and their capabilities at the time. Nonetheless, we have new magnetic Joy-Cons, and it’s best to be appreciative rather than wanting to complain about them.

Final Thoughts

This is a great catch that Nintendo was able to realize (thankfully) before it became a problem for gamers all around the world. As a gamer, how important is the release of the Joy-Con for you? While it seems simple, what’s important across the board is the accessibility features that can be beneficial for everyone. Do you have any hypothetical thoughts about the magnetic Joy-Cons that could cause a problem for you or your children who will play the game? Will the new Joy-Cons stand the test of long hours and gameplay effectively? Only time will tell.
