New patent shows a stylus add-on for joycons... will the Touch Generations return in full force!?

Even if this does not go through, we already had the passive Super Mario Maker 2 touch pen.

And remember that Brain Training came back a few days ago.

Touch Generations never left ^^

This seems silly to me..... I doubt it beats out just useing your finger when its this big clumsy attachment thing to a Switch Joy-con.
Also to have to pull one of these off, and attach a pen thingy to it... instead of just useing your finger, which for alot of smaller tasks will probably work just as fine, its best described as "silly".

Switch isnt a work station, or something a professional graphics designer would use, so it doesnt need serious tools.
Avg joe smoe, and kids with a switch wont need such a device imo (which is the vast majority of switch owners).

That "brain training" switch kid app, where it showed a stylus with a cheaper Dr Mario clone.... could have been played with your fingers or joycon controllers just as well right?

Sometimes its possible to "over design" something.
That joy-con + stylus thingy looks like a monstrosity, that ll probably not even messure up to just useing your finger.

The joycon stylus does seem bulky. Eitherway, the WiiU wasn't a work station still Miiverse and later Art Academy added some serious tools for some serious artists.

You know if I necrobumped a three and a half year old thread, I'd get banned.

Haha.

The Art Academy software would be something I'd be interested in. I'm typically negative about the Wii U, but Art Academy was one of the 3 or 4 things on the console I actually enjoyed quite a lot.

I also really enjoyed the Brain Training games, and the model was hugely influential on gaming spawning off an entirely new genre with Casual Games (and I mean the actual genre of games where you play in few minute sessions at least once a day, and keep coming back to it over long periods of time; rather than the "game forum" version of it, which pretty much means games made for retarded people).



I describe myself as a little dose of toxic masculinity.

I actually enjoy the Sketch minigame from Game&Wario, one of the few titles that forces me to boot up the WiiU during Christmas.
