US Prices and 3D Model for The Switch 2 GCC

Small update again, we finally got the MSRP for the US release of the controller – $64.99usd. It somehow does not show up on the online store’s page itself, it gives a greyed out “Releases June 5th” button. But if you go to another accessories’ page, it’ll pop up at the bottom. I guess this will fix itself once the controller releases.

At the very bottom of the page, there are some more details on how to purchase the controller: “From 5/8/25 – 5/12/25, limited to Nintendo Switch 2 early purchase access invitation recipients. Starting 5/13/25, open to paid Nintendo Switch Online membership holders. Limit one purchase per Nintendo Account. Offer not available in all countries or for free trial memberships. This controller is optional and not required to play the Nintendo GameCube – Nintendo Classics collection of games. System update required. Nintendo Switch Online + Expansion Pack membership required to access Nintendo GameCube – Nintendo Classics collection of games.”

Thanks to the anonymous commenter in my previous blog for sending me the link!

So with that done, Nintendo released a 3D render of the controller on its Nintendo Today! mobile phone application. We finally have a glance at the stamp at the back of the C-stick:

BEE-021 BEE-A-LKD-JXE-V0
FCC ID: BKEBEE021 INPUT / ENTRÉE: 5V=

This is unlike any other stamps we’ve seen before, really cool. I don’t know if the codename “Bee” is intentional but it’s definitely cute.

This also leads to something else: we have the FCC ID, which lets us see its application information on the official FCC page here: https://fccid.io/BKEBEE021

Most of the information seems to be locked behind some short-term confidentiality agreement, and as of writing this the pictures does not seem to load. However, we can see that the date of application was on 2025-03-14. And the wireless will function with Bluetooth technology on a frequency of 2.402GHz to 2.48GHz, which I guess is standard for Switch 2 remotes. But yea, the 900MHz wireless GameCube controller will never be a thing…
