Amazingly detailed new patents from Nintendo confirm a lot of about switch.

- touchscreen (no stylus suggests capacitive)
- up to 4 joy-cons on one console (same 4 player support as in all modern consoles - split screen even in portable mode)
- should buttons L and R on each joy-con
- dock does allow system to over-clock to run TV visuals better (no extra horse power in dock)
- SD card support
- gyros in system and each joy-con
- IR pointer in joy-con
- NFC in joy-con
- ambient light sensors
- MULTIPLE joy-con configurations (think NES, SNES, N64 ,etc)
- MULTIPLE base connectors for joy-con (variations of a pro-controller)
- No ethernet port mentioned in doc, but that should be expected based on Wii/WiiU


- VR head mount display (think mobile phone style VR - also means system must be light)!!
