The Nintendo Switch 2 is officially on the way, and more details are starting to emerge. According to FCC filings, the console will support WiFi 6 and NFC, as reported by The Verge.

This means that the WiFi in the Switch 2 should be significantly faster compared to the original model, which only supported WiFi 5. However, the filings do indicate that the Switch 2 won’t offer support for WiFi 6E. Additionally, the FCC only mentioned tests for 2.4GHz and 5GHz networks, and not the faster 6GHz band.

WiFi 6 isn’t the latest wireless standard; that would be WiFi 7. Nintendo rarely adopts the newest technologies in its products. However, this matches the standard of the PS5, though the PS5 Pro supports WiFi 7. The Xbox Series X/S consoles only support WiFi 5.

NFC support likely indicates one thing: Nintendo’s upcoming console will probably continue to integrate with Amiibo figurines. The filings specify that the RFID feature will be located in the right Joy-Con, just like the first Switch. This is great news for those who have a collection of these figures, which wirelessly unlock content in games.

The FCC filings also reveal a final interesting detail: players will be able to charge the Switch 2 via either the bottom USB-C port or the new top USB-C port. This is the first confirmation that charging will be available on both ports.

While we don’t know the release date of the Switch 2, other than it being sometime this year, or what the launch lineup will look like, the reveal trailer showed something that could be a new Mario Kart game. We’ll have to wait until April’s Nintendo Direct to learn more.
