Oh boy, so here’s the scoop. Nintendo just dropped some tidbits about the Switch 2 charging thingy, right? Came through their Nintendo Today! app, which — can I just say — sometimes feels like a treasure hunt of random info?
Anyway, they’re saying the Switch 2 will stop charging when it hits around 90%. Like, just stops. This feels a bit like my old phone that quit on me after too many charges. Maybe it’s a smart move? Keeps the battery from getting all cranky and, well, old before its time. If you toggle this “Stop Charging Around 90%” thing (which, let’s face it, sounds like something I’d accidentally turn off while trying to set an alarm), it’ll sort of ease off on speed when hitting that mark.
Makes me think of how iPhones do their battery TLC. You know, that whole combo of history, patterns, and some sort of battery voodoo magic? Yeah, over time they all get kind of tired, like me after a late-night Netflix binge.
Oh, and mark this on your calendar or, I don’t know, scribble it where you’ll see it — the Switch 2 hits stores globally on June 5, 2025. The price? It’s £395.99 if you’re chilling in the UK, €469.99 across the Euro side, and $449.99 in the US. Why do prices never seem round? It’s like they’re toying with us or something.
Anyway, there you have it. Now if I could only remember where I left my other Joy-Con…
