Nintendo shows off “a new experience” by debuting a new accessory for the Switch



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.

Always more and more gimmicky . . . thats why i really don't care about Nintendo Hardware most of the time . . .
The thing is that Switch is their least gimmicky console of the last few generations. So I guess they felt like they had to go extra-gimmicky with the controllers to make things inversely proportional, lol.

from a gamer standpoint what would this be used for? as a bow in zelda maybe?
I dont see a lot of other uses...
Thinking of this, imagine if it broke when using it. Your fist comes at you pretty fast and well... either a fat lips or a black eye. Ouch :unsure:.
Or worst especially with that broken piece in your hand or fist.

Or imagine taking over the controller to get little Timmy through the hard part of Link's Goofy-Ass Gimmick Training. He's standing in front of you so he can see everything. Then before you know what you've done, the damn hoop breaks and you punch your son in the back of the head full-force.

As long they keep developing Zelda games i couldn't careless about the crap they make thinking is revolutionizing the world with. As a matter of fact i think they should be a softhouse doing games for PC or Sony.

Jesus, with this fucking peripheral...I can only imagine the homebrew possibilities. What's next? Wrapping this thing around certain parts of my body and having the HD Rumble be active until I Believe I Can Fly after the climax?

Fuck having the libretro core of Reicast or Flycast or FuckCast or whatever method of playing DC/NAOMI games on the Switch. This is what homebrew needs to be about, natinusala, m4xw, and bylaws! XD

You know, if we all had not been robbed from our natural habitat we would not need stupid plastic toys to keep in shape. In fact we don't need them, we can get plenty of exorcise just in tearing down this little pre-school of ours in its self.
