Hopefully this means online matches and the like will run more smoothly (YouTube)Your amiibo collection will still work with Nintendo Switch 2, with new official documents revealing further details about the console.We are just a few weeks away from the big Nintendo Switch 2 showcase which, aside from the actual games, should reveal some more concrete details about the console itself.The official announcement trailer did reveal a few things, like its larger design, an additional USB-C port on the top of the console, and mouse functionality for the Joy-Con controllers, but Nintendo has refrained from discussing the specifics.Regardless, a few new titbits of information have managed to make their way online, with recently spotted filings with the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) confirming the Switch 2 will boast faster Wi-Fi and amiibo support.The FCC filings were submitted by Nintendo only last week and while they dont mention the Switch 2 by name, they do contain references to a game console and Joy-Con controllers.Plus, according to The Verge, the designation code, BEE, is believed to be for any Switch 2 related products, as its entirely new and follows a similar trend for how Nintendo usually labels its products.For example, the original Switch had the designation code HAC, and a HAC game card is also listed under supported equipment, reemphasising that the Switch 2 will be backwards compatible.Knowing this, the Switch 2 having amiibo functionality makes perfect sense. Multiple Switch games have content locked behind certain amiibo figures, which would be inaccessible on Switch 2 if it didnt support them. The NFC reader is even located in the right Joy-Con, exactly like the original Switch.

Since the original Switch only supports Wi-Fi 5 networks, this should allow for faster Wi-Fi and thus improved online functionality.Lastly, not only do the filings reveal that the second USB-C port can be used for charging the console (something that was safe to assume but never explicitly confirmed by Nintendo) but they mention an AC adaptor that goes up to 20V.More TrendingBy comparison, the original Switch has a 15V AC adaptor for charging it up, which the filings show should still be compatible with the Switch 2, itll just take longer to charge.However, the presence of a more powerful adaptor could feed into another theory that Switch 2 games will run better when the console is connected to its dock. However, the FCC document makes no mention of this.It remains to be seen how in-depth Nintendo plans to get with the Switch 2s specs and functions during the April showcase.While it is likely to show off new gimmicks and gameplay functionalities (like what that mysterious new button does), the showcase will likely prioritise highlighting what games Nintendo has planned for the console, rather than detailed technical specifications. The only officially confirmed Switch 2 game is the next Mario Kart (YouTube)Emailgamecentral@metro.co.uk, leave a comment below,follow us on Twitter, andsign-up to our newsletter.To submit Inbox letters and Readers Features more easily, without the need to send an email, just use ourSubmit Stuff page here.For more stories like this,check our Gaming page.GameCentralSign up for exclusive analysis, latest releases, and bonus community content.This site is protected by reCAPTCHA and the Google Privacy Policy and Terms of Service apply.
