→‎Features: Major misuse of controller. Also, that "different controller" is the pair of "joycon"s (eugh, by the way) plugged into a mounting unit. And never, EVER use Wikia as a ref.

-The game console will feature a main system that a controller can plug into. With the controller plugged in, the game footage will be displayed on the TV screen. With the controller detached, the footage will be displayed on the controller's screen. The buttons on the controller can be removed and used either as separate controllers, similar to [[Nintendo Entertainment System]] controllers, or used as one controller together. The detachable screen can be brought away from the console to other locations, unlike how the [[Wii U]] functioned, making this console more of a hybrid between home and mobile systems. The console will also use small cartridges, similar to the [[Nintendo DS]] line. The base console also has two ports in the front, though it's currently unknown what they are for.
+The game console will feature a main system that can be plugged into a "Nintendo Switch Dock"<ref name="Nintendo.com article">http://www.nintendo.com/whatsnew/detail/first-look-at-nintendos-new-home-gaming-system</ref>. With the system docked, the game footage will be displayed on the TV screen. With the console detached, the footage will be displayed on the console's screen. The two "Joy-Con" controller pods can be removed and used either as separate controllers, similar to small [[Nintendo Entertainment System]] controllers, or used as one controller together, optionally docked into the "Joy-Con Grip"<ref name="Nintendo.com article" /> to give a more traditional experience. The console can be used without the docking unit, unlike the [[Wii U]]'s GamePad which it slightly resembles with Joy-Cons attached, making this console more of a hybrid between home and mobile systems. The console will also use small cartridges, similar to the [[Nintendo DS]] line. The base console also has two ports in the front, though it's currently unknown what they are for.
-A different controller, similar to how traditional controllers appear, was also revealed. All versions of the controllers will have two Control Sticks, eight face buttons, and trigger buttons. Both of the two detachable controllers have one Control Stick, four face buttons, and one trigger button each. The mobile screen controller also has a kickstand that can be used to prop the system up. The traditional controller will also have a Control Pad, replacing one set of the face buttons. The detachable segments of the controller are called the "Joy-Con" with the traditional controller being called the "Joy-Con Pro".<ref>http://fandom.wikia.com/articles/nintendo-switch-nx-see-features-first-games</ref>
+The console has a kickstand that can be used to prop the system up. A traditional controller, simply called the Nintendo Switch Pro Controller<ref name="Nintendo.com article" />, will also have a Control Pad, replacing one set of the face buttons.
 Players can also link up multiple consoles to each other (four or the handheld systems were connected at a few points in the trailer) using wireless connectivity between the mobile screens and the base console can connect to others in some fashion (eight were connected during the ''Splatoon'' segment).
