Some of these issues will undoubtedly relate to console controllers that seem to pack a number of new features, including Joy-Con function, originally designed to switch Nintendo first, such as a magnetic attachment. One of these features can be the player's future deposit system. A patent application filed by Nintendo in August 2024 and published on January 23, talks about a system that tracks the player's position and direction when next to the buttons, with the potential to predict the following player's contribution.
Patents Nintendo for tracking and forecasting players
According to a patent application that has a little more than a system scheme that talks in detail about the logic of the mechanism, Nintendo describes the system that tracks the player when it turns to the buttons on the controller. When the player's finger is moving to push other buttons consistently, the system can automatically perform future orders based on the Buttons with which the player contacted or pressed. In other words, the system, as described, can record the models of the players' motion on the controller, and then perform the actions based on forecasting of the next input. This can smooth out operations for certain things, such as the menu selection or even in game activities such as the sequence of attacks. Prognostic systems have been working in games over the years, and similar attempts to use gaming logic to “guess” player systems such as Rollback Netcode in combat games.
It is worth noting that the patent application is just an attempt to patent an idea or mechanism, not an indicator that technology was built or deployed. Thus, no confirmation from Nintendo itself, no one can say whether the system is patented in the 2 switch, source switch or any actual Nintendo hardware. In view of this, patent applications indicate what Nintendo engineers and designers think about how newspapers can work in the future Intersection of animals Game. No matter if these systems really enter it into real products, this is another matter.
