Oh wait, now I get it! It's describing shoulder buttons that are also rotational dials. Interesting?!?
I hope that the next gamepad isn't a giant rectangle. Nintendo isn't making their stuff stylish. There are other design choices besides rectangle.
| TheLastStarFighter said: Everyone is missing the point of the pattent. This isn't about the look or # of buttons, that pattent is about the part highlighted in the box in the last diagram, item 24. This also appears to be a direct connection to the earlier pattent shown. The emphasis in this pattent appears to be on a new type of motion and/or touch controls as they talk about rotation and touching the non-face surface. It also describes using it with one hand or two in this way. I'd suggest Nintendo is envisioning a Wiimote-Gamepad hybrid of some kind, sporting a smaller form, one hand use but also a touch screen and dual analog. It also appears to have some new type of input mechanic. Certainly sounds promising! |
Oh. Thanks for describing it. I couldn't the technical jargon.
Interesting, rotational dial shoulder buttons, I can think of quite a few uses for those in puzzles and gameplay aspects.
Thought I'd simplify the abstract:
An example controller includes: a joystick provided on the front of the controller and at such a position that, in a state where the controller is held with one hand of a user, the joystick is allowed to be operated with a thumb of the hand; and a wheel which is provided atop the controller at such a position that, in a state where the controller is held with one hand, the wheel is allowed to be operated with an index finger and which is a button capable of being rotated.
Looks like a phone 
Hmm, looks alright though, maybe a bit on the simplistic side of things.
"Just for comparison Uncharted 4 was 20x bigger than Splatoon 2. This shows the huge difference between Sony's first-party games and Nintendo's first-party games."
Hmm. A missing ZL/ZR may screw this concept, hard. And, why take away two buttons when you can add two? Looking at you Saturn.
I'm also starting to entertain the concept of a slider, one screen to slide over the other and both capable of touch.
Only the top screen needs to be capable of 3D if they want to.

We can finally carry more than two guns in console fps games! More than 2 guns in Splatoon 2!
Rotating wheel shoulder buttons? Hmm. Certainly different. Actually can't wait to see what Nintendo are up too.
