Charge NES Controllers On a Famicom?!?

If you are a fan of the Nintendo Switch, you may know that having enough chargers for Joy-Cons can be a bit of a pain. thankfully, the team at RetroFlag has got an amazing new charger, and it adds some import retro styling too!

I love the Nintendo Famicom, I love everything about it. The games, the system, the controller, it's one of my favorite systems. So when I was cruising Amazon recently to check out the new Retro flag switch grip, I happened to see this and I had to have one.

designed to look like the Nintendo Famicom, this charging dock can charge two different switch Joy-Cons at the same time. You mount them on either side of the system, just as you would Famicom controllers. In the end, it nails the aesthetics and is so much fun to look at.

When we posted our review, a few people asked if this charger would work with other controllers that charged through the Switch Rails, specifically the Nintendo NES Online Controllers. We tested them out and, while they fit into the rail itself, they didn't go down far enough to actually make contact with the charging pins. As such you cannot charge NES Controllers via a Famicom charge dock
