With just hours left before the Nintendo Switch 2 Direct, excitement is building as Nintendo prepares to unveil details about its next console. A recent Federal Communications Commission (FCC) filing, dated March 31, has sparked speculation about the potential lineup of controllers for the Switch 2. Under the product code "BEE-008," the filing appears to be for a new game controller, which some fans speculate could be the Nintendo Switch 2 Pro Controller.
While Nintendo has not yet confirmed the existence of a Switch 2 Pro Controller, the filing's mention of Bluetooth and NFC capabilities suggests it might be a premium model similar to the original Switch Pro Controller. One notable feature highlighted in the filing is the inclusion of a headphone jack, a feature absent in the original Switch Pro Controller but present in competitors like the DualSense and Xbox Series controllers. This addition could significantly enhance the user experience by offering a convenient audio solution.
Historically, Nintendo's FCC filings have provided early hints about upcoming products, lending some credibility to the speculation surrounding this controller. However, until the official reveal, all details remain unconfirmed. The Nintendo Switch 2 Direct, set to air tomorrow at 6am PT / 9am ET, promises to give fans a "closer look" at the Switch 2 following its initial announcement earlier this year. The event is expected to last an hour and may include information about the console's release date.
Additionally, Nintendo has scheduled two Nintendo Treehouse: Live | Nintendo Switch 2 presentations for hands-on gameplay demonstrations on April 3 and April 4, starting at 7am PT each day. These sessions will offer further insights into the capabilities and features of the Switch 2, building anticipation for its launch.
