Recent FCC filings indicate that Nintendo has received approval for a new wireless controller, potentially designed for the upcoming Nintendo Switch 2. The model number prefix “BEE” aligns with previous Nintendo products, notably the GameCube, suggesting a possible GameCube-inspired design.

The filing describes the controller as a “wireless Bluetooth controller” and includes images showing the placement of the regulatory label, which aligns with the positioning on the GameCube controller.

This development has led to speculation that Nintendo may be reviving the GameCube controller design for the Switch 2, possibly to enhance the gaming experience for titles like Super Smash Bros.

While these filings provide intriguing hints, Nintendo has not officially confirmed any details regarding the controller’s design or functionality. Further information is expected as the Switch 2’s release approaches.
