It appears that the Nintendo Switch 2 has the ability of detecting whether it’s upside down.

When the Joy-Con 2 are attached to the console in an upside-down fashion, the system is able to detect this during the initial setup process. It will ask the user to detach the Joy-Con 2 and attach them in the correct manner before proceeding with the setup, as shown in the video below:

Currently, it seems that the initial setup process is the only place where the system is able to detect upside-down Joy-Con 2, but it’s possible that some games may be able to do the same in the future.
