Nintendo Switch 2 Switch 1 dock compatibility

Although it probably won’t come as a surprise to many, Switch 1 won’t be compatible with the new dock Nintendo is making for Switch 2.

Nintendo posted that information this week. The company confirms that no model of the original Switch works. You cannot use a standard Nintendo Switch, Switch Lite, or Switch OLED with the Switch 2 dock.


This week we have a simple question – have you pre-ordered Nintendo Switch 2?

Reservations began this week in the United States (and Canada). To say the least, it was an… interesting experience. Best Buy, Target, GameStop, and Walmart all seemed to experience their fair share of issues with each site hammered with traffic and other shenanigans taking place. Based on reports, the best experience may have actually been visiting a local GameStop and pre-ordering there.

Regardless of where you are in the world, are you locked and loaded for Nintendo Switch 2 with a pre-order? Have you reserved any games? Let us know in the comments.

Nintendo Switch 2 June launch explained

Nintendo of America president Doug Bowser has weighed in on the decision to launch Switch 2 in June.

Bowser said that the company isn’t locked into specific time frames to launch gaming products. For June though, it’s not a bad choice given that the summer is starting (with kids starting to finish school for the year). Since Nintendo Switch 2 is portable, you can take it anywhere – which works well for a vacation.
