Switch 2 is around the corner, but Nintendo announces a new Switch accessory anyway

Quick Summary:

Oddly timed accessory is released as the Switch's life cycle is winding down.

Power is provided via a USB-C port on top of the stand, which can either be connected to one of the Switch dock's USB ports or to a separate USB-C charger. Other Switch controllers, including the Pro Controller and the SNES and N64 replica controllers, are charged via USB-C directly.

Nintendo's Switch launched in March 2017, and all available information indicates that the company is on track to announce a successor early next year.
