Nintendo Switch 2 leak confirms return of hugely popular feature | Gaming | Entertainment




The Nintendo Switch 2 Direct may be a few weeks away, but that hasn't stopped eagle-eyed fans from spotting new details about the upcoming device.

According to the latest leak, the Nintendo Switch 2 will bring back a popular feature from recent Nintendo console releases.

Indeed, based on a new FCC filing, the Nintendo Switch 2 will support the same near field communication (NFC) technology used by the Wii U, 3DS and original Nintendo Switch.

It's not a huge surprise, but it means Nintendo Switch 2 users will once again be able to use amiibo figurines in supported games.

The filing also suggests Nintendo will continue to release new amiibo figures for high-profile first-party releases.

Fingers crossed Nintendo unveils some new amiibo figures during the Nintendo Direct presentation on April 2.

Amiibo figures were first introduced in 2014, at a time when the Wii U was struggling to make a mark at retail.

Using amiibo figures with supported games often provides exclusive in-game bonuses, such as power-ups and costumes.
