During a Q&A session last week, Switch 2 producer Kouichi Kawamoto confirmed that although the console’s additional USB-C port is compatible with accessories like cameras, it doesn’t support video output, according to GNN News. “The video output of Switch 2 is limited to the USB-C port at the bottom; the USB-C at the top cannot output images.”
Those hoping to use smaller dock alternatives with the Switch propped up on its stand are out of luck.

TIL that Nintendo designed the usb-c port not to be compatible. Fuck them for that.
