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
