The Nintendo Switch 2 is officially here, and its reveal showcased some exciting features. Beyond the new Joy-Cons (with apparent mouse functionality via optical sensors), a key improvement lies in its upgraded USB-C ports.
Unlike the original Switch's single, problematic USB-C port, the Switch 2 boasts two. This seemingly small change is significant. The original Switch's port, while claiming USB-C compliance, used a proprietary specification, frequently causing issues with third-party accessories and even leading to console damage.

The dual ports offer flexibility for external displays, networking, data transfer, and higher-wattage power. While one port might be optimized for the official dock, the second port likely supports fast charging and other accessories. The inclusion of a second port without full functionality would be illogical. This upgrade significantly improves usability compared to the original console.
For further details, including the intriguing "mysterious C button," we await Nintendo's Switch 2 Direct presentation on April 2, 2025.
