- Not shown, don't know have motion sensor and touch screen or not. A lot of now traditional Nintendo controls are gone if don't have.
Think so, unless they come as accessories.
- Unlike Wii U or NDS/3DS, no more dual screen (1 tv, 1 handheld), can't show different info on separate screens.
Never like U's idea.
- If split the controller into two small joy-cons (L and R), each will only have 1 shoulder/trigger buttons, this rather limits the games that can be operated.
probably quick simple party games bah.
- Presumably no HDD? Home console with just proprietary game card is absolute no go.
might have memory slots for saved games? liked SD card or something?
- Too thick for a handheld, not very portable, like carrying a brick or a few slices of bread.
- If handheld is going to be powerful as home console (and switchable) then it is going to be too hot to touch after some time (like most laptops). Seems to have active cooling (there are what looks like ventilation holes at the top), which will be noisy (and weird) on a handheld.
- Amiibo support? Probably have (NFC, touch and remove, don't have to place there forever), don't see Nintendo giving up golden eggs.
- Was expecting some integrations with mobile phone platforms, but looks like it's still traditional handheld.
- Probably no multiple accounts support on single console?
- Most importantly, if still region locked = no buy.
This one is tricky.
"The dock is not the main console unit of Nintendo Switch," a representative tells IGN. "The main unit of Nintendo Switch is the unit that has the LCD screen, which the two Joy-Con controllers can be attached to and detached from. The main function of the Nintendo Switch Dock is to provide an output to the TV, as well as charging and providing power to the system."
Epic Games said:"We're thrilled to partner with Nintendo to help Unreal Engine 4 developers bring their games to Nintendo Switch!" - Epic Games on Twitter
There should be 3 batteries, 1 for the main unit (the one with screen), 1 for each side's joy-con (cos they need to work wirelessly individually). Perhaps 1 more for the grip (when the main unit with screen is docked) if they want to make it a battery bank for the joy-cons (but very unlikely).they've to make it thick enough to withstand everyday rugged use.... and maybe bigger battery....

I wonder how the joy-cons can be charged, I don't imagine it will be standard USB type ports cos a joy-con has to slide in to attach. Might have problem if a joy-con runs out of juice when detached for 2 player, cos you cannot charge it without attaching back.

1 screen at a time.
so no WiiU B$ here.
or can buy a secondary screen as an accessory?
