Rumored NES controller for Nintendo Switch 2

Veteran players can soon have another reason to be excited about the next Nintendo Switch 2. According to recent speculation, a new version of the classic NES controller could be in development for a total compatibility with the highly anticipated console, established to launch on June 5, 2025. This follows the established Nintendo trend of the exit of the classic controllers for their consoles, which allows the players to experience the players. authenticated.

While the exact nature of this rumored NES controller remains secret, it is plausible to connect wirelessly to switch 2, similar to existing NES controllers for the original switch. However, since original Switch NES controllers cannot be loaded by connecting them to the console, a new iteration could address this limitation, perhaps through a USB-C load port in the controller itself.

Nintendo has officially declared that Switch 2 will have limited compatibility with the oldest controllers. Although most existing switch accessories, including Joy-Cons and Pro Controller, will work wirelessly with the new console, the original Dock Switch and some load accessories will not be compatible. In particular, retro controllers such as SNES, N64 and Sega Genesis controllers will also work wirelessly with Switch 2.

The potential addition of a fully compatible NES controller for Switch 2 adds to the growing anticipation surrounding the liberation of the console. He suggests that Nintendo is interested in attending to both modern game experiences and the nostalgia of his fans of a lot of time. As the launch date of June 5 approaches, more details are expected to arise on this rumored controller and other Switch 2 features, promising a new exciting chapter in the legacy of Nintendo games.

As rumors are rumors, and the credibility hasn’t been officially confirmed by Nintendo, it would be ideal to take those words with a grain of salt to avoid crushed hopes in the near future. That said, it wouldn’t hurt to look forward to it as the potential addition of the controller isn’t out of place, considering the controllers slated for support with the Switch 2 console.
