You can leave your Switch 2’s dock at home with this $40 charger.

Jsaux is one of the first companies to debut a compact charging dock so you can connect your Switch 2 to a TV while traveling without having to pack Nintendo’s bulky dock. The OmniCentro Charger Dock for Switch 2 is expected to ship in mid-November, but you can preorder it now discounted to $39.99.

<em>The Switch 2 connects to the OmniCentro Charger Dock over USB-C, while the dock connects to a TV over HDMI.</em>
<em>The dock delivers up to 65W of power through its USB-C port, and supports up to 4K/60fps video through its HDMI port.</em>
<em>Jsaux’s dock is much smaller than the one Nintendo bundles with the Switch 2, and nearly the same size as Nintendo’s AC adapter.</em>
<em>The dock also works with other devices including smartphones, tablets, the original Switch, the ROG Ally and Ally X, the Valve Steam Deck, and the Lenovo Legion Go.</em>

Nintendo got hacked.

But it doesn’t sound too worried about it. Last week the Crimson Collective group claimed to have accessed the company’s servers, but Nintendo told Japan’s Sankei Shimbun that no personal or business information appears to have leaked, with the breach seemingly limited to website servers.

Pokémon Legends: Z-A is a fantastic return to (mega) form

Nintendo’s Pokémon Legends series continues to feel like the franchise’s future.

A fun oddity for Switch Online subscribers.

A trio of SNES games just hit the service, and the most interesting is Mario & Wario, a previously Japan-only puzzle game that requires a mouse to play.

Nintendo Japan has announced new scenes and seven new alarms from the Switch 2 edition of Kirby and the Forgotten Land and its Star-Crossed World expansion for the Alarmo alarm clock. Samples of the new alarm sounds are available on Nintendo’s Japanese site if you’re curious.

Vampire Survivors is getting online co-op.

Vampire Survivors developer Poncle is drip-feeding new features coming in the game’s 1.14 update, and online co-op is the first of five teased announcements.

Local co-op came to Vampire Survivors back in 2023, but I’m excited I’ll be able to bother someone other than my wife to play with me.
