Third-Party Dock Claims Wake-Up Support on Switch 2 Without Clarity on Licensing

GuliKit announced its $35 portable dock supports Nintendo Switch 2 wake-up functionality—a low-level feature usually restricted to Nintendo licensees. The company claims to be the first third party to ship this capability but has not disclosed whether it holds a Nintendo license, reverse-engineered the protocol, or benefits from looser Switch 2 access controls. The distinction carries real implications for procurement and consumer confidence in a console barely months into its commercial life.
