Eurogamer: Nintendo NX is a portable console with detachable controllers (It also connects to your TV, and runs cartridges)

They released a mock up.

If this is true, I get the references to casuals. Those things look like Wiimotes.

Ah, thank you. I was hurting my brain trying to picture how this is supposed to work.

It's still confusing to me. Like what's the point of having the controllers detatchable like that? Why is there one controller with only directional inputs? Are you supposed to play games differently when the thing is docked vs when it's not? Are there no trigger/shoulder buttons just for this mock up?

Is this to scale? Because the screen on the detatched image is wider than the screen on the attached. Why does it need a screen at all when it is in dock mode if the controllers are detached from it? Is it for UI?
