The Nintendo Switch 2 handheld console has been certified by the US Federal Communications Commission (FCC), revealing some new technical details about the device.

Here's What We Know

The documentation says that the Switch 2 will get Wi-Fi 6 support. Note that this is not the most advanced technology, as there is Wi-Fi 6E and Wi-Fi 7, but it is better than the previous model, which only had Wi-Fi 5.

It has become known that the Nintendo Switch will be equipped with an NFC module. It will be built into the right Joy-Con controller and is needed to interact with physical Amiibo figurines, so gamers will be able to add some additional content to a number of games. This feature has been available on past Nintendo consoles, including Switch.

It has also been confirmed that the console will feature two USB-C ports at the top and bottom of the case. Both ports can be used to charge the Switch 2.
