    Did they not already have this? There are literally hundreds of these, are they really all third-party? JFC, Nintendo…

      Nintendo has the apparatus that lets you turn two Joycons into a bigger “controller”. I don’t think you can charge the ‘cons through it, though. I think it’s just a piece of plastic.

        I’m pretty sure they have a grip that also charges the joycons as you describe. I just does not come with the console and is purchased separately. product listing here

        There’s a dual joycon grip that comes with the console in certain combo pack thingies, but there’s also an aftermarket one you can buy. The one that came with my console doesn’t have a charge port, but my aftermarket one does. I’m pretty sure it’s a first party Nintendo product, but I could be wrong.

        The fact that Nintendo is just now making a joycon cradle is insane though, along with the fact that it can only charge two at a time. I bought a 3rd party joycon cradle months after getting my switch for like 20 bucks, and it can fit 4 joycons.

        There are two versions of this, one that came free with Switches that doesn’t charge, and one you have to buy separately that you can plug a USBC cable into to charge the joy cons.
