Here are some more details on that delicious Hori grip JoyCon set that's coming out in Japan in September:

I'll snag a pair of these if they come west.

The sure to look quite neat if I say so myself.
The deal breakert is that they lack Gyro (& also assumingly accelorometer).
Nothing beats motiong controw to aim arrows in Botw orDualies in Splatoon 2.

Just read about it. It's portable only and not all games can be played on it. Not really interested, but it would have to work with same NID if I would get one...

You can freely sign in to a different Switch at any time to access all your games currently, and you can do a local system transfer. So it's all set up for a new Switch.

I thought it said compatible with all Switch games? Obviously not Labo since you have to put the joycon into it and the lite is not detachable but what else really requires that?

Didn't mean transfer but using both with same NID. But as I'm currently not interested in getting a second one, it doesn't matter.

Pretty sure it said not compatible with all, labo being an example. Without extra joy con it also can't play Super Mario Party or 1 2 switch.

In that case, two systems can use the same account no problem.

No TV connectivity in any way is a disappointment though.
