Well it's pretty obvious at this point that the Switch was designed to be a handheld first and foremost, and I don't think anyone can possibly argue otherwise with a straight face after the contents of the Switch w/Dock version favored handheld mode, and this new dock-free one clearly does too.

I'm also not really buying the whole "it's meant for households that already have a Switch" nonsense, unless you want to argue that Nintendo only meant for Japanese DS owners to buy a 3DS since that didn't come with an AC adapter and couldn't be charged out of the box either. It's just Nintendo's classic nickle and diming antics.

I would agree if this was a worldwide retail option but its literally only available on the Japanese Nintendo store sp i really dont think this means anything about the syatems design.

So if Nintendo starts offering this dock-less Switch world wide, the Switch becomes a handheld in your eyes, even though its functionality and design hasn't changed at all? That doesn't make any sense.
