    So, in summary.

    • Bigger
    • They put a USB port on top
    • The controls, where removed, don’t need the stupid plastic add on the the shoulder buttons

    Nothing on specs, battery, games /etc.

    Color me unimpressed

        With the magnetic attachment to the main console, having hall effect joysticks would be basically impossible

          Wouldn’t it only cause an interference when adding or removing a joycon? ie, when the magnetic field change isn’t from the joystick.

          It depends on where the magnets are located, but I agree it’s an engineering consideration.

          Also, using magnets instead of rails does mean that if you drop your switch, the joycons will go flying.

        New Metroid Prime has been trailered too. Oops nevermind. That was 6 months ago. My bad.
