well the rumor at the moment is that the new console will be backwards compatible with the old joycons. they won't attach to the new console, but you will still be able to connect and play with old joycons.
Oh I definitely will figured the Bluetooth would connect still, so pro controllers are fine. I was more thinking of the physical connection aspect since playing in bed is a little awkward with the removed Joycons and the kickstand set. Still nice though, especially if you have one of those mounted tablet stands.
I'm just thinking of all the LoZ and Animal Crossing Joycons that will now be relegated to the sheathe holder and a docking charger (or one of the fancy ones with USB to charge)
That's fair! I mean I have Animal Crossing ones, and they're not really that special, just unique colors. Other thing to consider is stick drift - if you've had your special edition Joycons for awhile, they may be on their way out pretty soon...
Yeah definitely lol. I got very lucky, my near-launch day switch joycon sets I got only has one left joycon that started drifting last year. I have no idea how they lasted that long cause I used all my controllers pretty heavily.
Now they sit on the charging dock next to the switch, next to the Steam Deck that actually gets used... Lol
