Do old Joy-Cons Work with the new Nintendo Switch OLED?

The OLED Nintendo Switch might seem like a shining new system— but looks can be deceiving. While the OLED does come with a lot of improvements over the original and Lite models of the Switch such as a slightly improved display and many fan-requested features, it will work the same as every system before it, with the same resolution and 1080p HD docked output.

What is the storage capacity of the Nintendo Switch OLED?
