Ubisoft is confirmed to be bringing Just Dance 2017 to Switch, but we can expect more of the company’s games on Nintendo’s new console. One rumored project is a crossover between Mario and Rabbids. Allegedly, the next Assassin’s Creed entry is targeted for Switch as well.

YouTuber OBE1plays made the first mention of the claim, and also mentioned that the game will launch on Switch alongside the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One versions. Laura Kate Dale, who has been quite accurate with rumors about Switch, has heard similar things.

Ubisoft making the next Assassin’s Creed for Switch wouldn’t be entirely surprising. Assassin’s Creed III was ready for Wii U’s launch, and Assassin’s Creed IV: Black Flag also ended up on the system.

Switch’s FCC filing officially went live this week. From the various documents, one tidbit discovered is that the unit likely has a non-removable battery. A couple of other details have now been picked out as well.

Based off of the filing, Switch will support Bluetooth in some fashion as well as 5Ghz Wi-Fi. 3G and LTE do not appear to be included, however.

That seems to be pretty much it… other than the fact that Switch was tested and confirmed to work in temperatures of 5 degrees Celsius (41 degrees Fahrenheit) to 35 degrees C (95 degrees F).

A new FCC filing is now up for the Switch. Engadget has one takeaway from the listing pertaining to the included battery.

Based on what Engadget has seen from the FCC filing, Switch will likely have a non-removable battery. This is somewhat different from Wii U, as gamers are able to replace the battery in the GamePad for more runtime. With Switch, doing something similar might not be possible. There’s still a slight chance that it could change by March since a production prototype was reviewed, though it’s intended to be equivalent to a mass-produced model.

If you’d like to view the full FCC filing, head on over here. Just be warned that there’s a whole lot of technical stuff involved.

In the Famitsu scans we posted earlier today, one of the images was an ad for the upcoming hands-on Switch event in Japan. Fans will be able to stop by on January 14 and January 15 to try out the new system at Tokyo Big Sight. Nintendo is even planning on hosting special music performances.

The ad confirms that on both days, the experience will last for seven hours. It will be held between 10 AM and 5 PM, though new visitors won’t be accepted after 4 PM.

Laura Kate Dale, who has leaked quite a bit of info on the Switch in the past few months, did an AmA (Ask me Anything) on the Switch subreddit last night. Obviously, most of the questions were about the Switch and what she knows about it. She did clarify a few points and also revealed some new info she believes to be correct. We’ve collected any new, updated and interesting info below; like always, take any of this with a grain of salt and a healthy amount of skepticism. This especially applies to the following points since most of them don’t come from a proper report that Laura wrote, but instead from an informal series of posts of Reddit. Either way, the big Switch event is only 2 1/2 weeks away, so most of this info should be proven either correct or false by then.

According to Laura Kate Dale:

The Nintendo Switch Presentation 2017 is less than a month away. One person who we can likely expect to be in attendance is Kenichiro Takaki, the creator of Senran Kagura. Takaki shared a photo on Twitter of an invite he received for the event.

Here’s a look:

Takaki’s invitation raises the question as to whether we can expect to hear any news about Senran Kagura on Switch – or maybe he’ll simply be there for the sake of it. We’ll find out when the Nintendo Switch Presentation 2017 is hosted on January 12 (January 13 for folks in Europe and Australia).
