For a week, Nintendo's been making clear that we won't hear any new information about the new Switch console until next year - January 12, to be precise - but that hasn't stopped its president dropping hints.
Speaking to Bloomberg, Tatsumi Kimishima revealed that while "what you see in the video [...] is the core product," the Switch platform shown in last week's reveal trailer does not necessarily represent the full extent of products available.
"It may be appropriate to call them accessories," he explained. "Or it might be better to call them add-on hardware. It’s probably more correct to call them accessories. You can assume that there will be a wider array."
Predictably, no more information was given, but many - spurred on by Nintendo patents showing modular controllers and unannounced features - have suspected that the console's detachable Joy-Con controllers could be swapped out for other controller types.
Kimishima also reiterated the company's stated interest in VR, although stopped well short of saying that the Switch would support it:
"We are interested in VR [...] VR offers new ways of playing, but that depends on what kind of software can be played. If you ask us whether there are any possibilities, we can’t say no. It may be that we will build VR software titles, I think that opportunity is available to us."
This perhaps starts to answer a couple of questions we have about Nintendo Switch - but don't worry, we have loads more.
Joe Skrebels is IGN's UK News Editor, and he can only assume Kimishima saw this brilliant tweet. Follow him on Twitter.
