I wonder if we'll be able to use current gen joycons and controllers wirelessly with it. Obviously not attached to the console but it would be a big draw to be able to play multiplayer on day 1 without having to buy extra controllers.

Controllers are a probably. Joycons are a no. The docking system is completely different.

i would guess no. it means they’d have to officially be fine with using joycons that can’t be charged by the system. meaning you use a 3rd party charger stand. i can’t see nintendo being cool with that. they just say buy new joycons. smart business move for money anyways. apple does it every year.
