Nintendo has not revealed much on his next Switch 2 console since he teased it last month with a trailer for revelation, leaving leaks and rumors to fill the gaps. But a pair of new patents strongly suggests that a rumor functionality – using a joy -con controller as a computer mouse – could come to the Switch 2 after all.
The two new patents, both published today, have a detailed drawings showing the Switch 2 and its Joys-Cons in a variety of positions. THE first patent Explain how a “new entry device” – a joy -con controller – can be used as a mouse (as a Japanese translated by Google Translate). Although this is not an official confirmation outright that the Switch 2 will allow you to use its joy-contained as computer mice, it shows how much Nintendo has invested in the idea and most likely included it in the final console.
Several of the drawings of this first patent show the joy-con with its inner side oriented downwards and a hand placed of such a ultra-clinical language of patents, the descriptions come in detail on the way in which the light between a sensor On the interior side of the Joy-Con, probably such as the operation of a modern optical computer mouse.
The other drawings are perhaps the most intriguing showing a single user of two joy-corks in one mouse orientation at the same time and another drawing showing a user exploiting a joy normally with another in the orientation of the mouse . While the previous rumors of this feature suggested that it could make Switch 2 better suited to the genres of games that require a mouse, such as strategy and MOBA, but the possibility that Nintendo wants players to use two mice- Con suggest both that the new console could have some of the most new (and bizarre) control entries for which the company is famous, mini-games in 1-2, switch to the wacky creations of Nintendo Labo .
Patent n ° 2: Joy-Con magnets and a potential load quay
THE second patent Details how the new Joy -Cons connect to the Switch 2 – and align with the previous rumors, it details how the magnets keep the controllers connected to the console. Interestingly, the patent suggests that the magnets are in the console and attracted by the buttons to the side of the Joy-Con (which become shoulder pimples when the controller is held with two hands).
The drawings and descriptions detail things like how, when holding a Joy-Con solo, one of the bumpers equipped with wrist bracelet slips on the new controller.
But the most exciting revelation of this second patent is at the very end of the drawings: a support or a load quay, allowing users to recharge up to two Joy-Cor without having to attach them to the console. Patent details also suggest that the platform could have a wireless capacity to connect with the controllers.
Since Nintendo has not disclosed any specific information when it introduced switch 2, these patents are the most official source of information on the new console that we have found. Nintendo plans to have a complete revelation of the console in a direct Nintendo on April 2.
