If this is the system it also likely points to another underpowered console. That controller is not going to be cheap. 

If they're going button less I think it points more to a future of Nintendo being smartphone-centric and focusing on those types of games moreso. 

The Nikkei report of the NX using Android or being able to run Android apps would make more sense too, they could probably put a moderate cheap chip inside the controller that allows it to run smartphone apps independant of the "base" system. 

I don't want that future. Nobody does. Except Pachter.

This.

The reason to have a huge gamepad thats almost fully touchscreen, is to allow mobile games/apps ect on it, and make it feel natural on it.

Also I could imagine it works well as a virtual keyboard for typeing.
