Any word yet on what the joystick tech will be? Mouse operation is all very interesting but drift is my main concern for the new joycons.
I haven’t seen anything official, but rumors are suggesting Hall Effect joysticks.
Nintendo playing against type on that one then. They tend to go for the cheapest worst option.
Well the warranty repairs and replacements certainly weren’t free. Hall effect may be the cheapest option. Especially at their manufacturing scale.
Any word on the screen? Would be sad if it wasn’t OLED but it wouldn’t surprise me if they wanted to cut cost for the base model.
It’s actually just leftover 3DS screens.
Stereoscopic 3D would be awesome. I loved it on the 3DS.
TOTK makes me wish 3D TVs caught on.
I mean the latest version of the Switch 1 went OLED. It’d be weird if v2 downgraded from that.
V2 switch was LCD just like V1 with no physically obvious changes. Only the OLED model was OLED
There is absolutely no reason in a fair and just world why my Pro Controller wouldn’t be able to sync to the Switch 2. So foolishly assuming we live in a fair and just world, I’m probably never going to use the Joycons ever.
It’ll definitely be interesting, but I imagine people will just end up pairing an actual mouse to it if the games all have mouse support.
I, for one, can’t wait until my joycon is so scuffed from vigorously rubbing it on a flat surface that it doesn’t properly insert into the console. Maybe I’m assuming too much, but why would I give Nintendo the benefit of the doubt here?
I think it has normal mouse sliders. There’s a thicker black line in figure 25 behind the line with number 33.
Good eye. Looking into it further, it looks like this picture seems to suggest that they’ve forseen this issue and will also provide an attachment for a better “mouse mode” experience.
When I saw the reveal trailer and the joycons were sliding around on their sides I didn’t even recognise that they were implying mouse-mode until people in the comments started losing their minds.
All I could think was “my massive hands are never going to be able to use that joycon as a mouse comfortably”. This patent does not make me feel any more confident that j won’t have constant hand cramps with this thing.
Me too, I just can’t imagine a comfortable way to hold it as a mouse and better yet, didn’t even notice the mouse sensors until watching it a third time after seeing all the people talking about it!
I was convinced it was just Nintendo implying the new shoulder button attachment would be called “skates” or something
Do they HAVE to draw hands so bad on patent applications? I mean like on every one I’ve ever seen.
It’s super hard to draw hands even for people that normally draw anatomical figures, and these are likely drawn by engineers that are used to drawing machines. At least they don’t have 16 fingers. 🤷🏻♂️
This is most probably a stylized projection of a 3D model.
I know right? There’s no where near enough Doritos dust on those fingers!
Mario Paint 2!
Don’t you do this to me…don’t give me hope.
I haven’t thought about H*R in a loooooong time. Thank you.
They still make occasional new releases on YouTube!
Dual mouse mode sounds interesting…
Star Fox could be interesting controlled that way
I am coping hard for a Kid Icarus: Uprising remake using this. We know Sakurai has been working on something, and I’d hate for it to just be a new smash.
I hope the next Fire Emblem uses this. Of course, they didn’t use the Switch’s touch screen, so I’m not holding my breath.
Little do you know Nintendo is in cahoots with Big Orthopedic.
The asynchronous games were a lot of fun. https://www.mariowiki.com/Nintendo_Land had a couple of them, like one where everyone is in first person mode chasing the tablet player who has a top down view.
Sliding joycons against a flat surface? Cannot wait for it to come out they intentionally made them so piss poor that after a few times doing it, your joycon breaks and you need to get an official new one in order to use that feature, which will probably be shamelessly required to use an important feature in some place like their shitty store.
“And if you turn it sideways it works like a mouse”
“Okay”
Why are we talking about this more than that?
Because they haven’t confirmed cat support yet!
You mean a mouse that won’t get pushed off the desk? They’d win a Nobel prize for that.
