Being simple and being more of the same are not the same thing. Wii had a revolutionary controller and Wii U tried the same thing, yet Nintendo kept things simple, wiimote & nunchuck for one and the Gamepad for the other.

What you are describing is two sets of detachable controllers to use and interchange depending on where or how you'll play, and that's not simple.

 

It's about as simple as having to switch between Wiimote only, Nunchucks, Classic Controllers, Motion Plus, Gamecube Controllers, Balance Boards, and lol who am I kidding, this is even more simple. But anyway, simple is not better in this case.

How many Wii games (not Virtua Console ones) required the Classic controller? Or the Balance Board? Don't compare the hassle of having to use different controllers (that you had to buy separatedly) for a selected minority of games with having to use two sets of controllers for every game, depending on where/how you'll play.

Also, now that I think about it, how will those detachable controllers work? They will have to have their own battery to work, otherwise you couldn't use them when detached from the NX. How much will they weight? And what happens in the hypothetical (and not very likely to happen) case of one of them running out of power while the other and NX don't? Will they drain power from the NX unit to recharge?
