The Nintendo Direct wasn’t all that Nintendo had to show this week, as a surprise trailer has gone up on their channel, showing off something unexpected. A belt-like object is featured in the video, being used in a variety of ways, such as a bow, a steering wheel, and on one’s leg as a fitness tracker. The product seems to have a focus on multiplayer gatherings and parties, with players needing one of the belt-like devices and a Joy-Con strapped in to make use of it. More information and details are scheduled to be revealed on September 12th.

[Dubbicakes]

Uh huh, I'm listening. =]

 

[odeon]

WTF is wrong with Nintendo...

 

[DarkCoffe64]

This is what happens when companies have an excess of something and think of a way to sell it to clueless idiots, lol

 

[SonowRaevius]

I need an adult after that video

Nintendo selling bondage gear now?

Well it is called the Nintendo "Switch" after all....

 

[Costello]

they managed to sell like 50 million Wii balance board units ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wii_Balance_Board )
somebody at nintendo probably thought they should keep doing fitness accessories...

from a gamer standpoint what would this be used for? as a bow in zelda maybe?
I dont see a lot of other uses...

The only thing that looks interesting to me is the strap that they stuck on their leg with the Joy-Con attached, but not because of the intended purpose. Hell, not even for the Switch. I'm thinking of getting the Natural Locomotion program from Steam for a VR headset, so I can just walk in place to move around in games like Fallout. One of the options to get it to read your footsteps is a Joy-Con set strapped to your legs, so this seems like a perfect setup so I'm not doing something like shoving them into socks.

Honestly, I don't even own a Switch.

Looks like something you could make yourself with a little duct tape and a small kid's bike tire.

I'll pass on this like I did when they tried to sell us peripherals made of cardboard.

 

[Beerus]

Pp hard UwU

 

[Deleted User]

[Teletron1]

This looked like a SNL skit .. really wished the Switch had a camera now so we could see all the funny videos people can make like they do with the just dance on wii u

 

[SS4]

Always more and more gimmicky . . . thats why i really don't care about Nintendo Hardware most of the time . . .

 

[gohan123]
