gimmick is typically defined as a special feature for the sake of a special feature, something that really doesnt have a meaningful purpose and is just there to be different.

based on that, i wouldnt really consider Switch to be gimmicky since the concept of consolidating their two product lines into one serves an actual purpose.

I think the detachable controllers are a bit of a gimmick. They're not even symmetical. The two different halves will feel different in your hand depending on which side you get. Furthermore, you're literally halving your control options by splitting a controller in half. How good is it going to be trying to control a game with one thumbstick instead of two? With 1-2 shoulder buttons instead of 4?

Using those mini controllers in two player mode is probably going to suck pretty bad.

that aspect ill admit could be seen as a bit gimmicky.

as for playing multiplayer games with just one half of the controller, it will probably be reserved for games with simple control schemes and you will likely need both halves or the pro controller for more complex multiplayer games.
