Model number is seemingly HAC-016

Test reports can be found at the link above. I don't have the time to skim through them but I wanted to share the filing.

...I swear to God I've read HAC was the technical codename for Switch somewhere.

L~A · Dec 19, 2016

HAC is the codename for the Switch, isn't it? ~~So most likely the console itself~~ Wait no, it wouldn't be 016, then.

kami_sama · Dec 19, 2016

Are gamepads considered game devices? If so, this could be the pro controller or the dock controller.

KingBroly · Dec 19, 2016

New 2DS?

That girl who hacked Splatoon and said she has access to the SDK data and shared something with HAC as codename? NWsomething?

User123456 · Dec 19, 2016

HAC is the Switch codename (according to some people with access to the dev portal IIRC), so this sounds like it might be for the wireless connectivity of the Joycons or pro controller.

Yup, 016 is interesting... that would indicate something classified as an accessory or part, typically. Weird.

This is from the Label Location PDF:

Short-Term Confidentiality
Does short-term confidentiality apply to this application?: Yes
If so, specify the short-term confidentiality release date (MM/DD/YYYY format): 06/18/2017
Note: If no date is supplied, the release date will be set to 45 calendar days past the date of grant.

Whatever it is, Nintendo's not interested in having it revealed until E3.

Definitely seems like it's for the JoyCons.

Now that is interesting....

I'm going to say that it is a new joycon for a specific game to be announced at E3

But this seems to be the back of the device. Look weird.

Stevey · Dec 19, 2016

Aren't the controllers wireless?
Surely it will be that.

The back of the joycon, yes. The upper part looks to me like room for the triggers.

Joycon pro to go with the headset.

kadotsu · Dec 19, 2016

I hope there will be many different Joycons. I would love a right side with a Gamecube and N64 button layout.

Correct

HAC = Handheld and Console

duh

Eusis · Dec 19, 2016

White Switch to be announced!

Wait they don't do FCC filings for colors do they?

Interfectum · Dec 19, 2016

That's a penis.

bomblord1 · Dec 19, 2016

Looking at the info

Considering the shape of the device on the location PDF. And the frequencies tested.

This has to be exclusively for the joycons unless the switch itself doesn't have Wifi.

13.56000000-13.5600000 is the frequency for RFID chips so Amiibo confirmed
2402.00000000-2480.00000000 This is bluetooth range I believe.

So amiibo confirmed and joycons work over bluetooth

Hah. Nice find. Didn't take notice about this.

Yea the more I look at it it has to be a filing for the joycons exclusively.

foltzie1 · Dec 20, 2016

I'm curious where an Amiibo would fit on a Joycon and be flush with the case.

Berg · Dec 20, 2016

Joy cons with 500gb of storage?
Is that a possibility?

Is there even a remote possibility that this could be for an SCD? Maybe launching winter 2017, as this isn't being revealed until E3?
