Didn't TurboExpress launch before Nomad? Like 5 years earlier? Seems like TurboExpress deserves credit for innovating, not Sega.  Sega Nomad was nothing more than a direct copy of the TurboExpress.  

Regarding how novel the Switch is (or isn't), who cares?  It has great software and is selling lights out.  Nothing is going to change that.

Express did not connect to the TV. It was a separate product. Also did not have 2 player.

TurboLink[edit]

The TurboLink cable.

The TurboLink allows two-player play. Falcon, a flight simulator, includes "head-to-head" dogfight and cooperative modes that can only be accessed via TurboLink.[11] This technology was also used for Bomberman '93 Com-Link multiplayer. It was released after the TurboExpress launch. However, very few TG-16 games offer co-op play modes especially designed with the TurboExpress in mind.

At best the Nomad was a tweaked version of the TurboExpress.  The Nomad isn't as original as people are making it out to be.
