Nintendo's holding back further Nintendo Switch 2 details for a big reveal in an April Direct, but in the meantime it looks like we're getting some early info courtesy of the US government. The Federal Communications Commission recently published the results of its testing of the console, and while the report is 99% dull data on wireless emissions, there are a few juicy tidbits.

Switch 2 will support Wi-Fi 6, as The Verge notes in its write-up of the report. Just as the original Switch and its related accessories got the three-letter designation of HAC, the Switch 2 line will go by BEE. The BEE-001 unit – that's the Switch 2 console itself – "is equipped with two rechargeable USB ports (top and bottom side)," according to the FCC filing.
