Overall, I do not like the design. Those detachable controllers look awful and seem unnecessary. People will try them out a little bit, decide they're impractical, and never use them again. "Multi-player on the go" does not seem like that big of a selling point to me but we shall see. Perhaps it could be popular in Japan? I don't know.
Anyway, the design looks like it will add cost while vastly increasing the possibility of mechanical failure, accidental damage, or loss. Seems like packing in a normal controller and leaving the Vita thing in one piece would have been the better option.
Other than that, it seems pretty nifty. I think the gimmick part can be ignored, generally speaking, which is good.
Lots of information needed beyond that, of course, but if it CAN play handheld games then I'm interested. If it can't, then I'm not. Price withstanding, of course.
