The Nintendo Switch 2 is officially here, and its reveal showcased some exciting new features. Beyond the new Joy-Cons (with apparent mouse functionality via optical sensors), a significant, albeit subtle, improvement is the addition of a second USB-C port.
The original Switch's single, under-mounted USB-C port often caused compatibility issues with third-party accessories. The proprietary nature of its USB-C implementation frequently led to problems, including the risk of damaging the console.

The enhanced USB-C functionality opens up possibilities for simultaneous use of power banks and other accessories, a considerable improvement over the original model. While one port might be optimized for the official dock, the second port likely offers the full range of USB-C capabilities, including fast charging and display output.
For more in-depth details, including information about the intriguing “mysterious C button,” we'll have to wait for Nintendo's Switch 2 Direct presentation on April 2, 2025.
