Last updated
Ever wondered if you need an AC adapter for your Nintendo Switch Dock? Let’s clear that up!
So, you’ve got a Nintendo Switch, and you’re thinking about hooking it up to your TV. The big question pops up: Do you need an AC adapter for the Nintendo Switch Dock?
Yes, You Absolutely Need It!
Short answer: Yep, you definitely need an AC adapter. Why? Because without it, you can’t power up the Dock and play your favorite games on the big screen. It’s that simple!
The AC adapter provides the necessary juice to not only charge your Switch when it’s sitting pretty in the Dock but also to send all that fun game data to your TV. Without it, your Dock is just a fancy stand for your Switch.
