Alternatively, you can slot a Nintendo Switch into the grip, if you prefer its bulkier design to that of the Joy-Con. It can support the Switch 2 with a firmware update, but several folks on Reddit note that it touches the Joy-Con 2 pins as it squeezes to fit the console. Not sure how comfortable yo

Even weeks after launch, restocks are hard to come by, as consoles sell out within minutes of the announcement.

Nintendo’s Switch 2 may have avoided a tariff-related disaster at launch, but today is a new day full of fresh economic horrors, and that means (unfortunately for everyone) potentially new and more draconian U.S. tariffs. In letters to 14 countries sent on Tuesday, President Donald Trump threatened to drastically hike tariffs by as much as 40% by the end of the month, which, for the record, marks a several-week extension of prior tariffs that were set to take effect on July 9.
