The Nintendo Switch 2 will feature WiFi 6 and offer NFC support, per the FCC

The Nintendo Switch 2 is officially in development, with recent FCC filings revealing new details about the console. The Switch 2 will support WiFi 6, which is faster than the WiFi 5 supported by the original Switch. However, it will not support WiFi 6E or the 6GHz band. The console's WiFi capabilities are on par with the PS5, but behind the PS5 Pro, which supports WiFi 7. The Xbox Series X/S consoles only support WiFi 5. The FCC filings also confirm that the Switch 2 will have NFC support, likely for Amiibo figurines, which will be located in the right Joy-Con. This means players will be able to wirelessly unlock content in games using the figurines. Additionally, the filings reveal that the Switch 2 will have two USB-C ports, one on the bottom and one on top, both of which can be used for charging. The release date and launch lineup for the Switch 2 are still unknown, but it is expected to launch sometime this year. A reveal trailer showed a potential new Mario Kart game, but more information will be shared during the April Nintendo Direct. Overall, the Switch 2 is shaping up to be a significant upgrade over its predecessor.
