@jco83 It seems more realistic to have the extra locking. The magnets might help it stabilize, snap into place easier, and make it feel more seemless.
Relying soully on just the magnets could have so many issues. If they're too strong, they're hard to pull apart. Too weak, and they fall off easily for some accidents I'm sure everyone will love. Finding the perfect middle ground for them to work on their own would be too much work.
Having that extra locking mechanism in the joycon would kinda be enough on its own, but having to shove them back onto the switch without the magnets could feel awkward and might even damage the sides of the joycons. But with the magnets, just hold it close to its place, and they'll pull it in. The locks will keep it on the switch, the magnets will keep the connectors secure. Or vice versa.
Then again, having that analog trigger on the back would still be great. If that ends up being what it is, I pray nintendo did some wizardry on those magnets. But I wouldn't be disappointed in the slightest if they're the release button. Honestly more interested in the C button.
@UltimateOtaku91 I guess a lot of people haven't noticed, but there's a release button on the back, and a slot on the side of the joycons for connecting. I believe the magnets will be strong enough to help it snap into place (and stay in) properly, as well as make connecting look cool, but weak enough to pull off without much resistance. But they won't fall out unless whatever locking mechanism (that's inside of that connection slot on the side of the joycon) gives out somehow.
Basically, my theory is the magnets are extra security in a way. Nintendo may do some dumb stuff, but I doubt they'd be dumb enough to fully rely on straight up magnets and nothing else.

@SirLink Idk why, but I see them doing free updates (like Mario Maker 2) rather than full on DLC
