The Nintendo Switch 2 is confirmed to support NFC technology for Amiibo figurines, based on new filings from the FCC. The console, designated as BEE-001, will have an RFID feature located in the right Joy-Con, similar to the original Switch. Additionally, it will feature two USB-C ports for charging: one at the bottom and a new one at the top. The device is also expected to offer improved connectivity with Wi-Fi 6 support, although it won’t feature Wi-Fi 7 or Wi-Fi 6E.
Today, it seems likely they will, because filings at the Federal Communication Commission (FCC) reveal the console will support NFC. They even specify that the RFID feature will be located in the right Joy-Con, just like it was in the original Switch.
You’ll also be able to charge the Nintendo Switch 2 from either its bottom USB-C port or its new top USB-C port, the filings reveal.
If you were hoping for faster Wi-Fi in your Switch 2, that’s pretty likely as well: the filings show it will support Wi-Fi 6 (802.11ax) networks with up to 80MHz of bandwidth.
Nintendo's announcement tease confirmed the Switch would have an extra USB-C port up top, but I think this is the first real confirmation of charging from both.
