Nintendo Switch Patent Suggests Rotatable Design for Improved Port Accessibility

The patent reveals magnetic Joy-Con controllers and a screen rotation feature that could allow users to customize headphone and USB port positions.

A newly discovered Nintendo patent hints at a rotatable design for the upcoming Switch 2, allowing users to flip the console 180 degrees.
The new design would let players choose whether the headphone and USB ports are positioned at the top or bottom of the device, depending on personal preference.
The Switch 2's Joy-Con controllers will reportedly attach magnetically, enabling them to connect even when the console is rotated upside down.
The patent also suggests the screen will automatically adjust to the orientation of the console, enhancing usability.
Nintendo plans to unveil more details about the Switch 2, including additional features and games, during a Nintendo Direct scheduled for April 2, 2025.
