| zygote said: I’ve watched it 4 times and I’m still seeing stuff that looks neat but not understanding what is going on really. How is that cardboard car thing moving from just the joycons being in it. How are the cardboard keys going to register? What is that cardboard button on the side of the box and how does it function? Are those just instructions of how to put the pieces together on the switch screen near the end? I’m thinking this will be a one mini game for each cardboard device sort of thing. Comes with the game collection and the pieces to make for each game. I’m guessing other developers will be free to come up with similar game concepts and packagings if they really wanted to. |
"How is that cardboard car thing moving from just the joycons being in it."
HD-rumble. Nudge the object in the right positions to get it moving. I'm interested if HD-rumble is precise enough to even steer it. Anyways, do you remember the reveal and thinking: this HD-rumble is neat, but it's only useful for this one 1-2-Switch-game? Well, now you know better.
"How are the cardboard keys going to register?"
There are reflecting strips on the other side of the keys and the Joycon with the IR-camera notices their movement and detects which key you pushed, so the right note can be played. Again, remember the reveal and asking if this IR-camera is really needed? Well, outside of eating a sandwich in 1-2-Switch? Look, now you know for what it is.

I guess and I hope so. Think what Lego actually could do with ideas like this.
And it just gets me, how Nintendo designed the Switch with this in mind, because nobody can tell me this works this well together with the Joycons and is not thought through before the release of the Switch.
