When the Switch 2 was announced, it was made clear that it would have new magnetic Joy-Cons. Players can still connect their older ones wirelessly, but for anyone interested in handheld play, they’re stuck with what Nintendo gives them. That could change pretty soon, as third-party developer Mobapad has announced something huge for this console’s accessories.
On their Facebook page, they announced the Mobapad Joycon Adapter for the Switch 2. It’s an adapter that wraps its way around the Switch 2 tablet, which will make their acclaimed M6 HD Joy-Cons playable on Nintendo’s current-gen system. Many fans often hail the M6 HD Joy-Cons as the best ones ever made, maybe next to Hori’s Split Pad Pro, so this has gamers talking.
No release date for the Mobapad Joycon Adapter was announced, though the post did tell fans to stay tuned for a future reveal. Based on the images released, it's exciting to see how this adapter turns out. We imagine that most fans will be sensitive regarding putting anything on their Switch 2 tablet, but an intro video and instructions could change things.
For those curious, the Mobapad M6 HD Joy-Cons are readily available in the company’s online store and various third-party online outlets. These third-party Joy-Cons are beloved for their clicky mechanical buttons, hall-effect analog sticks, and sleek design. While bigger than the original Joy-Cons, they don’t make the handheld bigger than something like a Steam Deck.
It will be interesting to see if the Mobapad Joy-Con Adapter will let other third-party Joy-Cons be playable on the Switch 2. We imagine fans with a Hori Split Pad Pro or Nyxi Hyperion will want to use them on Nintendo’s new system. This could end up being a game-changer for the system, and we’re sure fans are excited that it’s coming from a company that made some incredible Joy-Cons in the past.
