Aside from system cases, clean and protect kits, and power adapters that we reported earlier, one of the accessories includes a controller made by Hori — a well known Japan-based accessory manufacturer. It resembles the Wii U Pro controller with one interesting addition — a record button, the icon for it is what you’d find on a VCR or recording software. Images of this, along with other accessories have been posted on popular gaming forum, NeoGAF.

This could imply that the Nintendo Switch may have some form of gameplay recording feature. An interesting move for a variety of reasons.
