The Nintendo Switch 2 is officially here, and its reveal showcased exciting new features. Beyond the new Joy-Cons (with apparent mouse functionality via optical sensors), a significant upgrade lies in its port selection.
The original Switch's single, problematic USB-C port is now a dual-port system.
The Switch 2's dual USB-C ports strongly suggest adherence to standard USB-C specifications. This mature standard offers high-speed data transfer, 4K display output, and even external GPU support (via Thunderbolt).

The improved USB-C implementation allows for versatile connectivity: external displays, networking, data transfer, and higher-wattage power. While one port might be optimized for the official dock, the second port likely offers similar functionality, enabling simultaneous use of power banks and other accessories – a considerable quality-of-life improvement.
For further details, including the intriguing "mysterious C button," we await Nintendo's Switch 2 Direct presentation on April 2nd, 2025.
