With the Nintendo Switch 2 Direct just hours away, anticipation builds for Nintendo’s next console unveiling. A recent Federal Communications Commission (FCC) filing may offer clues about the upcoming Switch 2 controller lineup.
Discovered on Famiboards and reported by Nintendo-focused outlets like GoNintendo, a new FCC filing surfaced on March 31 from Nintendo. Listed under product code "BEE-008," it appears to register a new game controller, with some speculating it could be the Nintendo Switch 2 Pro Controller.
It’s worth noting that this remains unconfirmed, as Nintendo has yet to officially announce a Switch 2 Pro Controller. Still, features like Bluetooth and NFC support suggest it could be a premium controller.
A key detail in the filing, if it pertains to the Switch 2 Pro Controller, is the potential inclusion of a headphone jack. Unlike the original Switch Pro Controller, which lacked this feature, competitors like the DualSense and Xbox Series controllers include one.
Such an addition would enhance user experience, if accurate. Previous Nintendo FCC filings have often hinted at future plans, lending some credibility to this speculation. Without further leaks, confirmation will likely come during Nintendo’s Switch 2 reveal tomorrow.
The Switch 2 Direct is set for tomorrow at 6am PT / 9am ET on Nintendo’s channels. Following its initial tease earlier this year, the event promises a "closer look" at the Switch 2, potentially including a release date.
Nintendo has announced the Switch 2 Direct will last one hour. Additionally, two Nintendo Treehouse: Live | Nintendo Switch 2 showcases featuring hands-on gameplay are planned for April 3 and April 4, starting at 7am PT each day.
