New FCC filings reveal exciting details about the Nintendo Switch 2, including confirmation of Near Field Communication (NFC) support, suggesting Amiibo functionality. The filings, spotted by The Verge, place the RFID feature in the right Joy-Con, mirroring the original Switch. While not explicitly stated, this strongly implies existing Amiibo compatibility.
Further details from the filings confirm dual USB-C charging (bottom and top ports), a feature anticipated by fans. The Switch 2 will also boast Wi-Fi 6 (802.11ax) support with up to 80MHz bandwidth, a significant upgrade from the original Switch's Wi-Fi 5. However, Wi-Fi 7 or 6E support isn't mentioned. The maximum power input remains at 15V, although a 20V AC adapter is noted, leaving charging speeds uncertain.

The official Nintendo Direct, scheduled for April 2nd at 6am Pacific / 9am Eastern / 2pm UK time, is anticipated to shed more light on these features and other unanswered questions. While Nintendo hasn't announced a release window, speculation points towards a launch between June and September, supported by hands-on events extending until June and Nacon's statement suggesting a pre-September release for Greedfall 2.
The January reveal confirmed backwards compatibility and the second USB-C port, but many details, including the purpose of a new Joy-Con button and the full game lineup, remain undisclosed. The intriguing “Joy-Con mouse” theory continues to generate discussion.
