The NetherlandsNintendo Switch reveal trailer showed off most of the upcoming console's innovative new features, but left out just enough information to leave us with a few important questions.
Nintendo answered some of those questions in an interview with Famitsu(translated by Perfectly Nintendo) and IGN, giving everyone a better idea of what the Nintendo Switch can do and what exactly comes with it.
The box will include the main unit (the part with the LCD screen), the dock and the detachable controllers (called Joy-Cons) that go on either side of the main unit. This is just the bare minimum of what will come in the box — there may be more peripherals like a pro controller or Joy-Con controller seen in the GIF above, but that is not confirmed.

The switch to cartridges (or game cards) removes the ability to load discs, meaning no physical Wii U or Wii games will be playable on the Switch. This doesn't mean they won't be available to download and play through the Virtual Console.
Some were hopeful that the game card slot on the Switch would allow it to play physical 3DS, but Nintendo confirmed they would not be playable.
Right after Nintendo revealed the Switch, NVidia came out and told the world that it was behind the console's internal hardware.
"Nintendo Switch is powered by the performance of the custom Tegra processor," NVidia said in a release. "The high-efficiency scalable processor includes an NVidia GPU based on the same architecture as the world’s top-performing GeForce gaming graphics cards."
Over the years, different Tegra processors have been used in smartphones, Chromebooks, Microsoft Surfaces, the Ouya and more.
When asked about the Nintendo Switch's battery life for the main unit, Nintendo didn't get too specific but had a promising response for Famitsu.
"As for the battery, Nintendo wasn’t very talkative either, but confirmed that the whole thing was designed so that users could play as long as possible, 'comfortably,' even in places where you don’t have access to a power outlet," Perfectly Nintendo translated.

Wall Street Journalreporter Takashi Mochizuki tweeted that Nintendo won't be making any more official announcements in 2016 regarding Nintendo Switch games, its technical specifications or whether the console will be region-locked.
There are still a bunch of details about Nintendo Switch that we don't know and probably won't know until we get a few months closer to its March 2017 release. For now, all we can do is speculate on what the next Nintendo console has in store.
