@koudai1979 actually nintendo was late to the game with memory cards neo geo and sega had them first and analog was done before nintendo too. Altough they were first with rumble, and shoulder buttons. Along with the d-pad. Every major console maker has contributed something to controllers as we know now. Except maybe microsoft.
Im glad to hear that the switch is easy to work with so far. So hopefully that means more unique and diffrent games from Indies
Makes sense to go with carts, when there are SD cards can hold 500+ GB compared to blu-ray at around 50 GB. So the potential for 10x the storage for games. Also keep in mind that the game makers get the physical media for less than retail.
If anything its a very early prototype, and it might not be for there next big product. It might just be a controller for something else like a tourist device

Re: 'Special Reveal' Teased for Sonic the Hedgehog Anniversary Panel at SXSW
I'm hoping for a sonic maker game, after the success of Mario maker why wouldn't Sega copy it?
