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.

They showed it with NBA 2k16 I believe. Here is the offensive controls for PS4:

Now this will work just fine on a standard switch controller, but I don't see any way you can divide this in two and maintain the same quality of gameplay and controls. It looks like you won't be able to do any of those dribble moves, or call plays,  or call for screens in the Switch 2 player version. For those that are really into basketball games, the limitations could be incredibly frustrating.

This feature just seems so needless. It adds complexity to the design, it makes it far easier to lose or damage parts of your controller, and it adds cost to console. For what? A handful of games that might be able to use it well.

perhaps youre right and just using half the controller is difficult for many games or dumbs down the controls, thats why having options is great.

you can play with the half controllers, or put them together or use the Pro controller.

many games will work absolutely fine with just the small half controllers and the games where it doesnt work fine can just require you to use them together.

its a non issue because its not a mandatory feature.
