True, but what if this time it's not gonna be abandoned like the ovular device before the Switch? We may want to listen for anything new that comes from this.

The oval controller was actually a fake mock-up scam prior to the Switch launch.

Patents are "ideas" that are protected under intellectual property laws, they are NOT products... And it would be nice to see this community move on from propagating each and every single rumor, which many people end up believing as fact.

To be fair, that was how this forum lived throughout most of 2016 since it wasn't much a incredible year for the medium. The NX phenomenon was truly unique. 

In comparison, the Switch sequel isn't gonna garner the insane buzz because the internet is already expecting an iteration on the Switch, there isn't room to speculate as much
