Aside from the HD support in the dock, the debut trailer makes no mention of performance improvements or 4K support, and the technical specs from Nintendo confirm it maxes out at 1080p in TV mode. It will come in the white-and-black finish with a white dock, shown in the trailer and a neon red/blue set with a black dock. All previous Joy-Con controllers will be compatible with the new unit.
