As it turns out, one of the defining upgrades of the Nintendo Switch 2 is actually an old concept developed for the original Nintendo Switch.

The arrival of the Nintendo Switch 2 heralds some much-needed improvements over its predecessor, especially its Joy-Con controllers. Here’s a quick breakdown of what the announcement trailer showed us about the Switch 2’s Joy-Cons.

Similar to the first iteration of Joy-Cons, hitting a dedicated button will detach the controller. It's not entirely clear which mechanical function this button affects, but judging by the design of the Switch 2, the animation suggests that the magnetic charge is switched off.

Nintendo had the idea of using magnets to attach Joy-Cons to the original Switch, but couldn't get it to work.

The Switch's producer was "particularly excited" about the idea at the time, but it didn't work well enough back then
