Nintendo Switch Tips & Tricks: 8 Features You Totally Missed

2. Charge Other USB-C Devices

I can't think of many instances where you'd need to power something else off your Switch, but it is entirely doable all the same.

Thanks to Nintendo coding the Switch to be rather helpful when it comes to plugging into other devices, connecting it to a Macbook (via USB-C to USB) for example, will see the latter draw power from the console itself.

Essentially turning the Switch into a portable battery pack you can also play games on, if you find yourself caught short on trip and want to prioritise work over nabbing another Power Moon in Mario Odyssey (you fool), have at it.
