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, place the RFID feature 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) support with up to 80MHz bandwidth is confirmed, an upgrade from the original Switch's Wi-Fi 5. Notably, Wi-Fi 7 or 6E support isn't mentioned. While the maximum voltage remains at 15V, a 20V AC adapter is referenced, leaving charging speed uncertain.
