Nintendo Switch Set to Come Out With a Non-Removable Battery

Dale is a well-known tech insider and is not new to the leaking game.

For starters, Switch will not feature a removable battery. Already, there’s a lineup of performances scheduled for the big event, so it will be more than just a showcase of the Nintendo Switch. This means that the final version could have a removable battery.

The same page of “SAR_report01” also lists the Switch’s compatibility with the 5 GHz Wi-Fi band, which would make it the first Nintendo console able to utilize it. Extended battery life is not the only concern. The Nintendo console will only be able to support Wi-Fi. Remember when the Wii U gamepad was criticized for dying too soon? The report comes from Reporter Takashi Mochizuk whose sources tell that the console supports 2K resolution. It was so bad that Nintendo launched a high-capacity battery pack which boosted it to 8 hours.

Third-person adventure game Sphinx and the Cursed Mummy is said to be particularly well suited to the Nintendo Switch. However, the most exciting fact is simply that the Switch offers Bluetooth at all.

After becoming one of the most popular franchises on Nintendo’s 3DS handheld following a run with the PlayStation and Sony, Monster Hunter is a series more deserving of full-fledged console return than most. While the Wii U supports Bluetooth, it was only used for controllers and select sets of headphones and microphones.

Nintendo Switch recently made a stop at the FCC, and though we didn’t glean a whole lot of new information from this filing, we did discover one important tidbit.

She did go on to say that gamers shouldn’t expect miracles, and obviously Nintendo aren’t going to go that deeply in all of their games, but some particular titles are going to be given quite the nice treatment, from what it seems. Also, since we still do not have much concrete information about the Switch’s capabilities, it is possible that the system could have a USB port (or ports).
