You can now buy a Nintendo Switch without a dock, in Japan
Nevermind the one console future, Nintendo would rather like you to buy as many Switch’s as you can.

Nevermind the one console future, Nintendo would rather like you to buy as many Switch’s as you can.
Back in February’s investor Q&A, Nintendo’s Shigeru Miyamoto said, “Our ultimate ambition is for a Nintendo Switch to be owned not just by every family, but by every single person.”
That’s a bold target, to put it mildly, but the new Nintendo Switch Second Set bundle, which is now available in Japan, makes that scenario a teeny tiny bit more likely.
The new bundle is firmly aimed at households that already own at least one Nintendo Switch, and only includes a base console, two Joy-Con, and two Joy-Con straps. Left out of the box are the Dock, AC adapter, Joy-Con Grip, and HDMI cable.
The product description is clear that consumers will need to use a existing dock for charging and connecting to a TV.
The Second Set retails at 24,980 yen, which equates to around $226/£170.
At the time of writing there is no confirmation on the bundle getting a Western release.
