Description:
A new Nintendo device has passed through the US Federal Communications 
Commission (FCC), but we don't have many clues as to what it is.

FULL STORY
======================================================================

While were all awaiting an eventual unveiling of the Nintendo Switch 2 , the 
company seems to be working on yet another device. A new wireless device made 
by Nintendo has been spotted making its way through the Federal 
Communications Commission (FCC) in the United States. 

And no, its not the Nintendo Switch 2, seeing that the device is tagged 
simply as a wireless device, and the word console is not mentioned. It does 
carry a similar ID  CLO-001 , though, ending in 001, which is similar to the 
Nintendo Switch (HAC-001), Switch OLED (HEG-001), and Switch Lite (HDH-001). 

Thanks to a diagram showing where the model number and FCC label will appear, 
we know this gadget will take the form of a rounded square with a divot 
containing this information on the back. Inside, it lacks a battery and a 
boatload of connectivity as it only features a 24GHz mmWave sensor and a 
2.4GHz Wi-Fi antenna. It also doesnt feature a battery, meaning it needs to 
be plugged in via the USB-C port. (Image credit: FCC) 

However, we're left with more questions than answers aside from a diagram 
showing where the FCC identifying will be affixed  as a divot in the plastic 
on a square-shaped gadget. TheVerge notes that the onboard mmWAve sensor 
could be a radar sensor to track movement, meaning it might be more of a 
companion peripheral. 

Their guess, like ours, is as good as yours at this point for what this 
mysterious Nintendo device could be. It could be a new accessory for a game, 
maybe a move into health or fitness like Wii Fit from many years ago , or 
something for more internal purposes. 

After all, Nintendo partners with Universal for Super Mario World in Japan 
and California, and another version is set to open in 2025 in Florida. If
