Don't you think that the antenna in the right joycon is for the Amiibo (NFC)?
NFC antenna is usually a flat piece that looks like a PCB or just a thin sheet with wire lines running around the sides. Here's the one in Wii U:

It's possible that the one in the joy-con is for NFC, but it makes more sense to have it directly below the NFC reader area since it's very short distance, rather then extending to the side of the joycon. You can see the location of the Wii U one here:

That antenna in the joy-con looks more like it's for wifi or bluetooth. (I am not an engineer, no real knowledge on such things, just guessing :))

Guide: How To Access the Nintendo Switch eShop For Multiple Regions

http://www.nintendolife.com/news/20...he_nintendo_switch_eshop_for_multiple_regions

So the Nintendo Account's "user ID" is for what one?

Adding friends is back to the long string of random number Friend Code (unless you have met someone in game before, or you are in the same room physically with the person). Accessing eShop for another account have to sign in with Nintendo Account (using email address and pw). Some things are using Nintendo Network ID. Then what's the use of "user ID"?

no idea. there is User ID, Username

i wonder which one will be displayed :s13:

still hoping User ID can be used in the future since that is unique.

True. If it's for NFC, it would be closer to the buttons rather than side. We'll see once people post teardown photos.

Maybe some sort of gamer's tag?

Thought the box is different between the 2 color sets? One shows grey joy con in the cover and the other shows neon.

because the box does not have a security seal (at least based on the US stock) and the joycons and the console are easily accessible once you open the box.
