So are we getting joycons with HINGES?

What are patents even
>we took a thing and added a hinge, now hinges are banned from other products

But are you ready for multi-joycon drifting?

>this wide
>face buttons and thumbsticks are still directly one under another

So does this mean the Switch Pro console will have a hinged body as well to go in line with these joy cons? Imagine playing Breath of the Wild 2 in sharp 1080 20 fps with 30% of the top of the screen bent backwards and you have to keep adjusting the whole thing back and forth just so you can see how many hearts you have left.

No, it means that Nintendo had an idea so they made sure nobody else could use it
Only a small portion of patents are ever considered for production

Basically. Probably almost half the patents filed are just to prevent competitors from doing the same or similar. Like Namco's patents on loading screen mini-games that screwed over every other developer for 3 console generations.

But DBZ Budokai Tenkaichi games had awesome loading screen minigames, why would they keep that to themselves?

man what the fuck is wrong with furries

>classic nintendo
This isn't classic Nintendo. Flimsy hardware is a recent development.

it looks like the wii joystick so it probably just behaves like that if its more ergonomic or something

Bro, that's kinda hinge

Well they're releasing a beefed-up Switch version to make retards double-dip just like Xcucks and Snoyboys were forced to do so adding a few minor gimmicks is going to help keep their fans wanting to suck their dick.

How is this ergonomic in anyway? That would feel flimsy as fuck

Lol imagine the webbing of your thumb getting caught in the hinge

The DS lite came out 13 years ago. I wouldn't call that recent.

Has that ever stopped Nintendo before?

for what purpose?

fpbp

>ds lite is flimsy
i bought mine day 1 and it's still like new

The DS hinges are loosely considered a weak point, but you need to seriously fuck up the console to do anything more than chip plastic off them.

Good for you, but cracked hinges were a pretty widespread issue with the system that Nintendo even acknowledged at one point.

Yeah let's add more moving parts to that bullshit. What could possibly go wrong?

Can they patent Joycons with FUCKING HANDLES SO IT ACTUALLY SITS COMFORTABLY!? I bought some third-party rubber drips and they're still not good enough. How hard would it have been add a curve to the back of the joycons?

>not filing the patent to sit on it so no one else can use the design for their "not joycons"
I don't know why people always think they go through and produce patents.

because everything that can lead to shitting on nintendo is reason to make threads on Yea Forumsesetera
