I am not sure about the exposed connector on the side of the system that inserts into the Joycon. I could see a kid jamming the controller onto the system at a bad angle and breaking it.

I’m very curious what they’ve done to prevent people accidentally forcefully removing it during gameplay. The sliding lock was annoying at first, but if you’ve ever gripped the controller hard at a pivotal moment it’s probably good that it didn’t rip away or even stress the parts.

The leaks showed what looked like a release button like the original joycons.

As soon as I saw that I thought "there's this generation's joycon deadzone"

More like this generations Nintendo DS hinge crack.

The joycon drift can happen regardless of how well you treat the analog sticks

It seems like the colored area on the side of the joycon fits pretty snuggly into the recess. I’m not sure if you could put it in at any other angle than the one that would marry them up

I had exactly the same thought.

This is so big of a design flaw, I wonder if it's not accepted as a way to sell more...
