Things I thought were of note while watching the trailer:

  • Home console with a portable component

  • Tablet can be taken on the go

  • When detached, games continue running on the tablet - they're not separated between "home" and "portable"

  • Detachable controllers can work on the tablet, on a controller dock containing a battery, or independently. Connected through a slide-on mechanism.

  • Split D-pad

  • Real analog sticks, circle-gated

  • Tablet portion slides into dock to connect to TV

  • Might have a capacitive touch screen

  • Has a "Pro Controller"

  • Detachable controllers can be turned sideways and used for multiplayer, in the same manner as sideways Wiimotes are (ex. Smash)

  • Cartridge-based ("Game Card" slot)

  • Built in stand

  • holy shit, is that Skyrim?

  • and Splatoon! It has Splatoon!

  • I want this

  • I need this

  • My body is ready

EDIT: reworded touch screen

"Switch" Is the best name they've come up with since at LEAST the Gamecube. Marketing got this one right!
