Let’s hope this isn’t just a random patent, and we actually get better sticks next generation.

    A company already makes hall effect joysticks that are JoyCon sized and they claim to hold a patent for them. I haven’t taken the time to verify, but even if they don’t have a leg to stand on they could still take Nintendo to court.

      @JonDorfman I wonder how they would do that while also not violating patents on JoyCons that I suppose Nintendo has.

      I have not checked, but would be surprised if they do not.

      To be fair I hope anybody and everybody that has a leg to stand on in court does so and wastes their time and money there.

      Nintendo consistently uses it’s legal might in anyi-consumet ways to harm its biggest fans. As somebody that loves Nintendo games, fuck Nintendo.
