There's definitely a market for slide on accessories, even just rearranged controls for those that want the right analog to be above the buttons rather than below...
Man I really love the look of this just as a portable. Really nice screen. Hopefully it's IPS and 720p will be absolutely fine for gaming. Certainly far better than anything we've seen on a Ninty handheld before now.
I hope they DO use AAs or AAAs. Cheap rechargeable batteries are always better than non removable ones.Please tell me they use internal rechargeable batteries and not imbecile AAs or AAAs
Yes, but I'd actually doubt the LEDs would show the battery status all the time. But sure, you could definitely be right with that.

FUUUCK the pro controller is optional again? Bleh.
The console looks like it might get some work still.
I remember the Wii U and DS looked a bit different when announced
Maybe, but then I'd expect only one LED to be lit. But that's at least not an argument against that.
What I'm wondering here is why does the Joy-Con Grip have two lines of LEDs? Wouldn't one be enough?
Ah, sorry, I read you wrong. The Pro controllers seem to only have one strip of four LEDs, though.
My question is, why would you need two even if there are two Joy-Cons present? Both strips of LEDs should always show the same.

"My Switch, my Joy-Con L" will become the new "My home, I'm player 1".Looks like joycon L is superior when detached

The dpad hurts my soul.
But if you'll always be able to use the Pro controller instead which does features a real d-pad, it won't be too bad.
So how cool would it be if that Switch Pro controller was really just a redesigned Wii U Pro controller, and the two of them were 100% forwards/backwards compatible with each other?
Please do this Nintendo. Don't pull a Microsoft/Sony and break controller compatibility just for the sake of forcing us to buy more plastic clutter.

Anyone know yet when you turn the Joy-Cons on the side, where it would slide into the Tablet, are there two shoulder buttons on top so that there are a total of six usable buttons?
I don't want to do that when it's in tablet mode though.
Each will have two, but if you mean when used individually sideways they'll be lumped together awkwardly on the side rather than feeling like shoulder buttons in that mode.CrAzY FiNgErS said:Didn't read every reply in thread. Was wondering if detachable controllers have shoulder buttons and triggers as well?
We're seeing this much closer to launch than in those cases, with rumors suggesting production has already started. If there are differences from what we see here, they'll be very minor.Charles Foster Kane said:The console looks like it might get some work still.

Original GBA too, but that's still an age ago.WordAssassin said:There hasn't been a Nintendo handheld that used batteries since the Gameboy Color.
If the Switch is successful, Nintendo (or some third party) will likely sell a replacement module with a real D-pad.
The pictures and video do reveal 2 Shoulder buttons on each joycon
Yeah, that seems like an obvious accessory that will be madeIf the Switch is successful, Nintendo (or some third party) will likely sell a replacement module with a real D-pad.
I think I noticed when the women were playing on the rooftop that there are top buttons on two player mode. Can you guys see it too or am I just imagining it?
No, reread what I'm talking about. I'm talking about when they're split and you're using them each as an individual controller. Take each one, rotate it 90 degrees, the top is where it slides into the tablet, now on top, where the slide connector is, also has buttons built into it? The existing ones you're referring to won't be very usable when held that way.
The joy-con has triggers.So what happens when I'm playing a FPS at home using the pro controller, and then take the unit with me on the go? What is the equivalent to the triggers on the portable unit?

Oh get what you're saying. No I dont think so. I get that 2player local as novelty, light gaming, So I expect not so usable shoulder buttons
The pro controller looks incredibly cheap. Like a chinese knock off you'd dig out of a flea market.
I referred to this and Tangeroo confirmed that he sees it too.
Those don't even look like the same controllers though. Look how they're smooth and you see buttons. That implies that's the outside edge and not the edge that connects. Now look at any other pic of the controllers attached to the tablet. You don't see any buttons in those positions on the smooth side. Something is off about that pic.
Looks like you're right.
Well it's time to decide: Trade in my new N3DS and games for the Nintendo Switch or trade in my Wii U for the Nintendo Switch. Wished it was BC with the new N3Ds or the Wii U.
Yeah, that seems like an obvious accessory that will be made
The side with the shoulder buttons on top is the side that connects into the "holster". The reason why it's smooth in other pics is because that's the "bottom" edge of the joycons.
so on par with the aestetics of the WiiU procontroller...
I wonder if they'd ever do an Elite-style premium option.
Let's hope so. Especially for VC. Imagine wanting to game on the go and having to play old NES or SNES games with buttons as a dpad?
