You don't think they will have it like Wii U gamepad.  Wii U gamepad has sensor and you can play it with motion controls with just gamepad.  I have never done this but it is possible.

I have no idea about WiiU gamepad. I haven't seen any motion controls that couldn't be done with regular wiimote. IR aiming seems to have gone too without a sensor bar. I'm holding out for lots of addons.

M+ lightsaber addons for that StarWars game that was never made for Wii, maybe.

Yea Wii U gamepad has a sensor so when you go to Wii mode you can play Wii games with Wiimote on just the Wii U Gamepad and not the TV.

Japan and Korea paid $30-$70 less than US/Europe and the rest of the world for Wii.

Guess why?

The suggested retail price of PS4 Slim at launch was $299 in the US (which becomes more with tax, so around $330), and 29,980 Yen in Japan, which is $261 USD.

Guess why?

Yeah, I mentioned the Switch price being cheaper in Japan as well, but he conveniently ignored both of us.

If there is a sensor on the Switch, Nintendo isn't pointing it out. It would have to be at the top of the console for TV-connected play.

I don't think there's much demand for IR pointer and M+ games in portable mode. I hope M+ and pointer controls are on there but I can see why Nintendo would leave them out.
