A recent FCC filing has fans speculating over some kind of ‘Nintendo Switch U’ peripheral.
it had new hardware in the works. As much as we wish the speculation would end, a new filing with the U.S. Federal Communications Commission seems to hint there’s more hardware on the way that may be an upcoming accessory for the console—or something else entirely.with the FCC on Friday, Sept. 20. The FCC requires companies to get authorization for new devices that will use wireless technology. Unfortunately, none of the application documents share much in the way of details.
It doesn’t seem to be a high-powered device. Instead, the filing notes it will have a 24GHz mmWave sensor. It’s a type of radar that can detect the presence of an object within a relatively wide area around a device, whether stationary or in motion. That could be used to turn on a console, perhaps a Switch 2, when you get near enough. Such a sensor might also be able to recognize gestures., it won’t support Bluetooth, which hints it’s not some kind of wireless controller.
Our guess is that it’s a peripheral of some kind for the Switch 2. The original console came with a docking station, but perhaps the new version will sell it separately like today’s. Nintendo would probably add some extra support capabilities to make it worth spending extra cash. My first thought is it could potentially support the new console wirelessly and connect it to a TV without needing to slam it into the dock.
