  • The Nintendo Switch 2 has been spotted on the FCC’s database.
  • Its listing confirms the device will support NFC, keeping the door open for Amiibo support.
  • The next-gen console will also support Wi-Fi 6.

It feels so long ago since Nintendo quietly dropped that first-look trailer for the Switch 2. Despite that, the console is still heavily on everyone’s mind. But if you’re hungry for more Switch 2 news, you don’t have to wait on Nintendo. The console made a stop by the Federal Communication Commission (FCC) and filings confirm some of the system’s specs.

Spotted by The Verge, the filings in the database reveal the Nintendo Switch 2 sports the model number BEE-001. The BEE part of the designation refers to the Switch 2 and its accessories, while 001 refers to the console. Following that pattern, the left Joy-Con is dubbed BEE-012, the right Joy-Con is BEE-014, and the relay box is BEE-053.
