Urgent Nintendo Switch 2 Update Fixes a Critical Joy-Con Charging Bug

Nintendo Switch 2 is now available on the market and has generated a huge movement among users who were eager to enjoy the new generation console of the Kyoto-based company. In this way, all those who have purchased it are already able to enjoy Mario Kart World, among other titles. However, there are certain players who are reporting an issue affecting the controllers of the new console if a crucial move is not made to avoid a mistake.

Apparently, several users with a Nintendo Switch 2 are reporting that the console does not detect the charge level of the Joy-Con 2 that have completely consumed their battery, making it impossible to charge them. To fix this issue, it is being notified that it is necessary to force an update of the Joy-Con in the Settings menu immediately after the initial setup. To do this, you just have to go to the start menu, go to Settings, then to Controllers and select Update Controllers. It is recommended that during the process the console be in portable mode with the Joy-Con attached.

This can avoid a mistake that can prove fatal for the Joy-Con 2, at least until Nintendo locates the problem and can fix it through a system update. In the meantime, prevention is better than cure.

Nintendo Switch 2 becomes the most successful console launch in history

Nintendo Switch 2 has marked a milestone in the history of video game consoles with an exceptionally successful launch. The console reportedly sold more than 3 million units in its first 24 hours, vastly surpassing the previous record set by PlayStation 4, which reached 1 million units in the same period. This information comes from Nintendo Prime, a well-known youtuber specializing in Nintendo, who cites three independent sources to support this figure.

The success of the launch, which took place on June 5, 2025, reflects unprecedented demand, with queues in stores, pre-sales sold out in minutes, and more than 2.2 million requests in pre-orders in Japan. The Switch 2, with its improved hybrid design, increased power, compatibility with games from the original Switch, and standout titles like Mario Kart World, appears to be on track to break all-time sales records, such as the 4.5 million units in two months set by PS4 and PS5, possibly in less than a week.
