There is always a chance of that knowing Nintendo's hardware history, but I think they can plainly see the success of the Switch and ease of transition keeping things much the same. A lot of people would be very upset if their Switch games suddenly were not playable on the Switch's replacement hardware.
Perhaps we'll see the return of the hardware add-on to add some gimmicky functionality that will eventually get it's own standalone built-in release later down the road.
Personally, I'd love to see a 3DS player, but there is zero reason for them to even consider doing that.

I think Nintendo will never do another addon hardware thing again, after both cd disk drives for the snes/n64 failed/got cancelled and were never that good in the first place.

At least the one for the Ultra/N64 is what gave us the Playstation - but they know carts is the best route, only downside is the internal battery issues older carts have/had.

Everyone complaining about Joycons being the worst controllers of all-time since the debut of the Switch, and Nintendo changing nothing and keeping that exact same design is just wild to me.
I guess they figure everyone will buy it anyway, and it's a guaranteed Pro Controller sale on top.

On a more positive perspective, people with additional controllers can continue to use them instead of them being a $70 paperweight. It's sad to see Nintendo still being run as a hyper efficient cash machine, vs building something with quality. It wouldn't be difficult to use hall effect joysticks. It could be touted as a Switch "upgraded" controller. Maintain backwards compatibility, while providing a solution to the problem.

Well here we go
my takeaway: It's a little bigger
