We learned something interesting: for the first time since at least the Gamecube and in some ways kind of the Super Nintendo, Nintendo is trying to make an iterative home console which focuses on doing things that their past console did, but with better graphics and a few new features. Some people seem to be annoyed about this, but given how successful the Switch has been and the level of risk of something totally new, doing the same thing again but better seems like a reasonable decision to me. We'll see how it goes, but yeah, I like the idea of basically just a 'Super Switch'.
With that said, the one major new feature they hinted at was the Joycons moving around a table. If they really can be like mice now that's pretty cool and would greatly improve the very lacking motion control on Switch versus the pointer-and-bar design of the Wii and Wii U. As someone who almost exclusively plays Switch docked, with the Pro Controller, I'd love to have better motion than just tilt.
