Nintendo finally made a first-party Joy-Con charging station

Nintendo simply introduced its personal first-party Joy-Con controller charging station, which releases on October 17. That is an apparent boon for sofa co-op addicts, as you possibly can have two Pleasure-Cons charging on the dock and one other two charging through the console on the similar time. Nintendo’s charging station additionally integrates with the corporate’s retro wi-fi NES gamepads, that are primarily used with Nintendo Change On-line video games.

The Pleasure-Con Charging Stand (Two-Manner) accent attracts energy from the Change’s dock, through the USB-C port, or another energy adapter. The vertical assist can be eliminated to make it extra transportable, one other bonus for these sofa co-op sleepovers. Nintendo hasn’t launched any pricing info but to go together with the October launch date. It’s at present set for a launch within the US, Europe and Japan. October 17 is similar day that Super Mario Party Jamboree launches, so that will make for some good accessory-based synergy.

It’s price noting that the Nintendo Change is over seven years previous. This accent will likely be launched 2,785 days after the console originally launched. Heck, the Change 2 (or no matter it finally ends up being known as) will in all probability hit store shelves early next year. What I’m saying is that this could have been much more helpful six or seven years in the past. Higher late than by no means?

That is prone to be the Change’s last vacation season. There’s a brand new Legend of Zelda recreation hitting on September 26, together with a themed console. One other huge holiday-adjacent title is Mario & Luigi: Brothership, which comes out on November 7.
