      I wonder if that and/or Labo might be what they meant by the disclaimer that backwards compatibility might not support all titles. Since it’s built around old Joy-Cons, might not work with new ones, unless the Switch 2 can just use original Joy-Cons.

      Could also be an excuse for Ring Fit 2 built around new Joy-Cons.

      In theory the old joy cons could still connect to the system via bluetooth, just not attach to the console itself. So maybe that keeps Ring Fit in play for the system.

        If that’s the case you wouldn’t be able to charge them, though? I don’t think you can charge them without connecting to a console (or a third party charging dock I guess)

          Correct.

          I would like to think you could pair old joycons to it in a pinch since outside of that new button on the right joycon they look exactly the same.

          But, yeah, when it runs out of juice you’d have to stick them back on the old switch or use a third party charger.

          But we’ll see, for sure.
