As we eagerly wait for Nintendo to reveal more official details about the Nintendo Switch on January 12, new information about the system continues to dribble out from unlikely sources. Today’s report suggests that the new console will do away with the company’s penchant for proprietary chargers and instead opt for the USB-C standard to get power to the system.

That suggestion comes via EB Games Australia, which briefly listed a trio of Nintendo Switch accessories from bargain hardware maker @play. Though the listings were quickly taken down, screengrabs from Technobuffalo and other sources confirm that the accessories included a “Nintendo Switch Extra-Long 3M Charging Cable,” alongside a picture of an apparent USB-C cable.

The listed product description as a “USB-A to USB-C Charging Cable compatible with the Nintendo Switch Console” leaves few questions about the Switch’s charging standard. And the retail leak comes on top of earlier reports, via multiple unnamed Nintendo sources, that the current Nintendo Switch prototypes use USB-C for their charging needs.
