Switch 2 dock receives Nintendo 64-inspired design with 64BitDock accessory
While Nintendo has historically prioritized a dock design for the Switch 2 that remains discreet and focused on functionality, following the line of the previous generation, the company 64BitDock innovates by offering an alternative with a strong nostalgic appeal. It launched a cover that transforms the look of the console’s dock into a tribute to the iconic Nintendo 64, seeking a bolder and more differentiated aesthetic.
It is important to note that the 64BitDock does not replace the original Switch 2 dock. Instead, it functions as a protective shell that surrounds the official stand, faithfully recreating the style of Nintendo’s classic console. The set even includes decorative buttons, reinforcing the similarity with the old video game, and allows the Switch 2 to be used in a horizontal position.
One of the most notable differences of the product is the inclusion of a cartridge slot, which goes beyond the mere aesthetic function. Consumers have the option of purchasing a fake cartridge designed with an internal space to store up to six Nintendo Switch 2 game cards. These media are discreetly hidden, maintaining the authenticity of the retro design.
The 64BitDock is currently available to purchase in the UK. The accessory offers expanded compatibility, with versions designed for both the new Nintendo Switch 2 and previous models, the original Nintendo Switch and the Switch OLED, maintaining the same value across all variants.

The accessory, which is being sold in black and light gray, costs 64 pounds sterling, equivalent to approximately 437 reais at the current price. This price refers to the basic version of the dock cover.
If the buyer opts for the set that includes the game storage cartridge, the total value rises to 74 pounds sterling, around 505.50 reais. For consumers in Brazil, the store offers international shipping with an additional fee of 25 pounds. Thus, the final cost of the complete kit, before possible import taxes, reaches 99 pounds, or approximately 676 reais.
In addition to this version that refers to the Nintendo 64, the manufacturer expands its line with the 16BitDock, inspired by the look of the Super Nintendo, and the CubeDock, which mimics the design of the GameCube. This variety caters to different nostalgia preferences among gamers.
