This is the most hilarious thing we’ve seen on the internet this week. It’s no secret at this point that the Nintendo Switch is a little bit unique when it comes to charging the device. People are still trying to work out exactly what Power Bank works with the device due to voltage/wattage requirement.

The Nintendo Switch requires a huge chunk of power to stay at a level battery let alone charging, especially when playing Zelda.

Interestingly enough, if you plug the Nintendo Switch into one of the new Apple MacBooks, which also uses USB-C, it will actually charge the MacBook. This is especially surprising as usually Apple completely lock these kind of things down.
