Nintendo has not revealed much about the upcoming Transfer 2 console From the teasing of that last month with A. Discover a trailerleaving leaks and rumors to fill the gaps. But a pair of new patents strongly suggests that the speculated feature-using a controller of joy as a computer mouse-can come into switch 2 after all.
The two new patents, both released today, have a treasure trove of detailed drawings showing the Switch 2 and its joys in different positions. The First patent Explains how the “Roman Input Device”-a controller for joy-can be used as a mouse (as translated by Japanese by Google Translate). Although it is not a fully official confirmation that the Switch 2 will allow you to use your joys as computer mice, it shows how Nintendo invested in the idea and most likely included it in the last console.
Several of the drawings of the first patent show the joy with their inner side facing down and the hand placed such that the fingers are wrapped over the side buttons when they are oriented in this way, they certainly look like the mouse buttons. Despite turning the kind of ultra-clinical language of patents, the descriptions in detail dealing with how light enters the sensor on the inside of the joy-to-a-contemporary optical computer mouse.
Perhaps most intriguing are other drawings showing one user two joy-consists in mouse orientation at once and another drawing that shows a user working with one joy normally with another in mouse orientation. While previous rumors of this functionality suggest that it can make Switch 2 better adapted for genres of games that require a mouse, as a strategy and Moba, but the ability Nintendo wants to use two mice of joy at once suggesting that the new console can There are some of the more romantic (and strange) control entrances that the company is known, from minigami in 1-2 switch up to the cast creations in Nintendo theirs.
Patent no. 2: Magnets for joy and potential charging port
The Second patent Details of how the new joys are linked to Switch 2 and harmonizing previous rumors, detailing how the magnets maintain console-related controllers. Interestingly, the patent suggests that the magnets are within the console and attract the buttons on the side of the joy (they become shoulder buttons when the controller holds two hands).
Drawings and descriptions detail things like, when you hold a solo with joy, one of the bumpers fitted with wrist strips slips on the new controller.
But the most exciting discovery of this second patent is at the very end of the drawings: a charging or port stand, allowing users to fill them up to two joy-consuming without the need to attach them to the console. The patent details also indicate that the port may have a wireless ability to connect to the controllers.
Since Nintendo has not released any information about the specifications when introducing the Switch 2, these patents are the most official source of information about the new console we found. Nintendo plans to have a complete detection of the console In Nintendo directly on April 2.
