Who sells hardware without boasting it's specs? It goes against all product engineering mentality. Would you buy a cellphone without knowing in detail it's specs or performance capabilities "because you can make your calls and it has apps" ?
If there were dozens of Switch variants being released, knowing the details of a specific model would be more important. And the company not boasting about something is the one who doesn't have something to boast about. They boast about the things their closest competitors won't match, like the optional portability and HD rumble.

Because random Wii U games turn off headphone usage for no good reason. Tokyo Mirage Sessions won't let you use it at all, WWHD and Xenoblade X only let you use it in Off-TV mode, etc. I was definitely concerned they'd decide to cut it off in docked mode for reasons untold.
It surprises me for Wii U since your'e expected to be using two screens simultaneously, but I wouldn't have been surprised if it worked this way for Switch--we know it won't be showing the game screen when docked, and I would've thought it would've been a waste of resources to be simultaneously outputting 5.1 and 2.0 versions of the audio.

the ui knows what color joycon you are using? cool
Watched from about 2:40 to 3:50 and didn't see what you were talking about. But assuming you're right: that's both cool and sliiiightly unfortunate for customizing purposes. I did things like combine parts of different wiimotes to get some custom color setups and was planning on doing the same with Switch. I could have a gray/blue it considers gray and a blue/gray it considers blue.
So what do they mean with 'TV mode only' regarding WiFi and Bluetooth? I want to use my Bluetooth Stereo Headphones while on the go :/
I
think it's just slightly poor formatting. Where it says
(TV mode only. A wired LAN connection is possible through the use of a commercially available wired LAN adapter.) I think they intend for TV mode only to apply to the rest of what's in the parentheses rather than anything before it. A colon instead of that first period would make it more clear.
