Most fans assumed Ring Fit Adventure wouldn’t work on the Nintendo Switch 2 because of the incompatible Joy-Cons. The Nintendo Switch Joy-Cons have little railings that connect to the Ring-Con controller needed for Ring Fit Adventure. Meanwhile, theJoy-Con 2s use magnets, so they wouldn’t fit.

However, it has since been confirmed thatold Joy-Conscan be hooked up to the Nintendo Switch 2, though they can’t be charged on the system itself. Players will need either a charging dock or an old Switch to do so.
