Nintendo is reportedly preparing a new version of the Switch 2 with a user-replaceable battery to comply with a 2023 EU “right-to-repair” policy on portable electronics. The Joy-Con 2 controllers are being redesigned to allow for easy battery replacement. While this is great news for Europe, there are no reported plans to bring this console refresh to other regions yet. The EU legislation has also influenced other companies like Apple and Sony to make changes to their products. The original Switch may stop being sold in the EU by the end of 2027 if it’s not redesigned.
