The Nintendo Switch 2 has only just been revealed, but some are already worried that one particular part of it is going to very prone to breaking. While the Nintendo Switch 2 reveal didn’t confirm many specific details, one of the key takeaways was the new Joy-Cons and all their new features.

The Switch 2 controllers are officially bigger in size, have mysterious new buttons, can be used as computer mice, and connect to the screen display through a protruding port instead of the original console’s rail sliders. However, the way the Joy-Cons connect to the display has sparked some concern in fan circles, even though the console isn’t even out yet.
As highlighted on Reddit by Salesmunn, the Switch 2 Joy-Cons lock into place through magnetic connectors which stick out from the recessed sides along the console. ‘I really hoped the controllers would charge and communicate wirelessly,’ the user wrote. ‘I can tell that this little nub on the Switch 2 will be bending and cracking immediately. For parents of young kids, RIP this controller nub.’.
Others in the comments have expressed concern too: ‘That was what I was thinking. And since it’s part of the main body, good luck replacing that.’. Another added: ‘The connector looks like it wouldn’t hit anything due to that being recessed. But kids are going to fiddle with it or jam controllers on, etc. And that’s what will break it over time [sic].’.
