1. A game system comprising:
a main unit;
at least one processor; and
a first controller configured for removable attachment to the main unit, wherein
the first controller is configured to communicate with the main unit via wireless communication when the first controller is detached from the main unit,
one or more of the at least one processor is configured to process inputs to the first controller for controlling a game,
one or more of the at least one processor is configured to process a first input to the first controller according to a first interpretation when the first controller is attached to the main unit and to process the same first input to the first controller according to a different second interpretation when the first controller is detached from the main unit,
the first controller includes a directional input device and the first input comprises an input to the directional input device in a predetermined direction, and
one or more of the at least one processor is configured to process the first input to the directional input device as an input indicating a first direction when the first controller is attached to the main unit, and to process the first input to the directional input device as an input indicating a second direction different from the first direction when the first controller is detached from the main unit.
