More Nintendo Switch 2 Details are released by FCC submission.
According to some FCC applications, Nintendo Switch 2 has several features that gamers can use when the console hits the store shelf.
Famiboards User LICs will have now discovered additional details for Nintendo's stateSide stocks, in less than a month until the Nintendo Direct, which focuses on the first switch 2. Based on the new delivery declaration, LIC believes that Vietnamese component manufacturer HVBG has already imported two 383,000 switches to the United States. All of these shipments have been shipped within 6 days after the 2 announcement, so since January 22, the company's US console stocks have increased since then, so it may have increased since then, but the transportation data will be a few months to catch up with the inventory.
Nintendo is also building a switch 2 charging grip stock.
In addition to the console itself, LIC found evidence that the HVBG imported 41,598 units of Switch 2 Joy-CON Charging Grip (identified by product code bee-A-ESKA) had been observed. The label of the gadget seems to be closely consistent with the label of the original switch charging grip (HAC-A-OSKA). HVBG is a component manufacturer, but according to the newly emerged shipping data, switch 2 and JOY-CON charging grips exported to the United States in January 2025 are finished in retail packaging. This indicates that HVBG can be involved in the final assembly of the upcoming console at least for the US market.
Switch 2 Joy-Con Charging Grip is known to be sold separately.
In December 2024, LIC reported that HVBG received more than 800,000 units of suspected switch 2 system on chips for NVIDIA. Next month, the company received two more switches. The new JOY-CON charging grip is planned to be sold separately, and shipping data suggests.
Nintendo has already booked two preview events as a switch throughout April and May. Among these activities, the latest activities are Seoul's activities, which are scheduled to end on June 1. Therefore, the console itself is unlikely to be released before the practice preview event is launched. April 2 Nintendo Direct can calculate the official switch 2 release date among other new information about the device.
