Nintendo Switch 2: NFC Support Confirmed, Amiibo Compatibility Expected
Recent filings reveal the Nintendo Switch 2 will support Near Field Communication (NFC), strongly suggesting Amiibo functionality. The FCC filings, as reported by The Verge, pinpoint the RFID feature's location in the right Joy-Con, mirroring the original Switch. However, whether existing Amiibos will be compatible remains to be seen.
The filings also confirm dual USB-C charging (bottom and top ports), a feature anticipated by fans. Wi-Fi 6 (802.11ax) with up to 80MHz bandwidth is confirmed, an upgrade from the original Switch's Wi-Fi 5. Notably, there's no mention of Wi-Fi 7 or 6E. While the maximum voltage remains at 15V, a 20V AC adapter is referenced, leaving charging speeds uncertain.

Unlike the original Switch's rails, magnets appear to enable attachment on either side. While not significantly altering hardware, this could impact button placement and potentially unlock unique gameplay possibilities. Further details are expected at the upcoming Nintendo Direct.Nintendo Switch 2 - First Look
