Famitsu asked Nintendo about several issues regarding NS. Here is the summary of the article. As my Japanese is crappy, please tell me if there are any mistakes.

- NS is not the successor of Wii U
- NS is not backward compatible with Wii U and 3DS
- NS will be packaged with Joy-Con(L) and Joy-Con(R)
- The packaging of other accessories (like the dock) will be announced separately for different regions before launch
- Cartridge is called "Game Card" internally
- Specifications of cartridge will be announced before launch
- Battery life will be announced later. The development team aims at allowing players to play NS conveniently at places without electricity connection.
- At this moment, no information on compatibility of smartphone apps can be provided

Lock if old

Clarification on my translation: About the bundle thing, the original article did not use the dock as the example. I just added "like the dock" into the translation to tell you what are the other accessories. To be honest, I really hope they are not referring to the dock.

And please move to here for discussion: http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showthread.php?t=1297684

NS is not the successor of Wii U

Is this actual news? Or is it a GBA/DS situation again?

Nintendo stoping Wii U production says otherwise.

Switch to be marketed as a portable system that you can connect with your TV in Japan while being marketed as a home console you can carry around in the rest of the world?

Yes. Because NoA and NoE will promote this as a console that you can take out with you while Japan as a handheld that you can connect to TV. Because that's what is selling in the different regions.

the dock is sold separately?
