  Could have just gone through some planning hell and was originally intended to be released a few years ago.

  As an aside: Magnets to attach the joycons seem miserable.

    How so? It doesn’t sound revolutionary, but it does at least sound like an improvement over the current plastic rails system?

      I guess I don’t have much faith in the ability for magnets to stick well enough to the console.

      It would be too bad to lose the backwards compatibility for all those special edition Joycons. Not that I expect them to, though it would be within Nintendo’s track record.

  New peripherals coming out late in a system’s life isn’t unusual.

    New first-party peripherals, with less than a year left on the console in question? Idk, the only other one that comes to mind is PS4 back button attachment, and that was also puzzling, then and still.

      I went to look for examples and didn’t find as many as I expected. It’s not unheard of but you’re right, it’s notably uncommon.
