Nintendo's upcoming Switch 2 is reportedly employing a new encryption scheme and dedicated chip for its USB-C port, according to accessory manufacturers. This intentional move breaks compatibility with many third-party docks, video glasses, and TVs that users might expect to work seamlessly with the universal USB-C standard. While past USB-C issues were often attributed to cost-cutting or initial implementation problems, Nintendo's approach appears deliberate, potentially limiting accessory options for consumers and raising concerns about device interoperability.
