you are aware that patents in general need to specify SOME THINGS right? for example, a detachable controller attachment for a PHONE is quite different than a proprietary attachment to your own unique game device
Nintendo would have to literally be using like the identical method of attachment, and an extremely similar controller for that to be the case. The picture you posted is not a wireless controller that can be used seperate from the phone and, again, to begin with it's an attachment to help transform a phone into a better gaming device.
Nintendo's controllers are unique designed controllers SPECIFICALLY only for their own device and that involve a million unique features (wireless features, different game modes, advanced rumble, etc.)
Nintendo would be 'screwed' if they had come out with a controller attachment sold for use with their mobile games that attached to phones. But that's not the case at all.
There is no patent in existence that is going to completely cover something as loose as "a detachable controller". You are aware that controllers that connect to and can be removed from bases are nothing original or new right? they've existed for a long time in different formats
