FCC Filing Could Indicate a Possible Upgrade For Nintendo Switch 2 Pro Controller

As the anticipation builds for tomorrow's Nintendo Switch 2 Direct, a recent Federal Communications Commission (FCC) filing has sparked speculation about the console's controller lineup. On March 31, an FCC filing under the product code "BEE-008" surfaced, hinting at a new game controller that some believe could be the Nintendo Switch 2 Pro Controller.

While Nintendo has not officially confirmed the existence of a Switch 2 Pro Controller, the filing suggests certain features that align with a Pro Controller, such as Bluetooth and NFC capabilities. One notable detail from the filing is the potential inclusion of a headphone jack, a feature absent from the original Switch Pro Controller but present in competitors like the DualSense and Xbox Series controllers. If true, this would represent a significant quality-of-life improvement for gamers.

Past FCC filings have occasionally foreshadowed Nintendo's plans, lending some credibility to the speculation surrounding this controller. However, without further leaks or official announcements, we'll have to wait until tomorrow's Switch 2 Direct for confirmation.

The Nintendo Switch 2 Direct is set to air tomorrow at 6am PT / 9am ET on Nintendo's channels, promising a "closer look" at the Switch 2 following its initial reveal earlier this year. The event is expected to last an hour and could provide crucial details about the console's release date and features.

Additionally, Nintendo has scheduled two Nintendo Treehouse: Live | Nintendo Switch 2 presentations for April 3 and April 4, starting at 7am PT each day, offering hands-on gameplay demonstrations to further excite fans.
