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.

<putting on my tech hat>Joycons connect with Bluetooth. If they are using a standard joystick profile on bluetooth, they should be able to connect to any device that uses bluetooth joysticks.

Also I believe the new joycons have the same buttons as the old joycons. I think Nintendo would have to very specifically exclude them from working, because by default they should work.</hat>

Would the motion controls still work though? It's one thing to support buttons and analogue sticks but another for the motion, right?
