Switch 2 Video Reveals How Snappy Joy-Con Removal Works
Last week's official reveal of the Switch 2 confirmed several new features of the hybrid Nintendo console, including a new approach to Joy-Cons that'll attach to the device using a snappier method. But how does it work exactly? On the Switch 2 website, Nintendo showed off this design in slightly more detail, revealing how the controller attaches and detaches from the console.Similar to the first iteration of Joy-Cons, hitting a dedicated button will detach the controller. It's not entirely clear which mechanical function this button affects, but judging by the design of the Switch 2, the animation suggests that the magnetic charge is switched off.This little button will quickly detach the Switch 2 Joy-Cons.In comparison, the original Switch Joy-Cons used a rail system to slide the controllers in, which were kept in place by a small plastic anchor point. These rails did tend to break down over time--one of several flaws of the Joy-Con alongside the common issue of joystick drift--so it is hoped that the reported magnetic attachment system provides a stronger and longer-lasting method of keeping the controllers in place.Continue Reading at GameSpot
