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.

This seems like satire making fun of ridiculous Nintendo gimmicks, but it's a real fucking thing. I do hope this means we get a succesor to Wii Sports, though I think it's definitely gonna be packaged with a Wii Fit succesor.

Nothing like huddling around the living room to watch a middle-aged bearded man play with a space-age thighmaster and hip thrust while he's lying on his back and sweating.

Nintendo, you've done it again.

This has to be some kind of long-term bet going on internally in Nintendo.

"Hey boss, they actually bought the cardboard we tried to sell them last time, what do we do?"
"How's about... *looks meaningfully at a pile of old bicycle tires* This!"
"Now THAT is funny! I'll take these to the boys in marketing."

Seems like more Iwata-inspired stuff is coming to the Switch. I wonder what titles will be supported for this thing. Switch Fit (proposed name to the successor to Wii Fit U), perhaps?

I gotta say, it looks really weird. Definitely not what I was expecting. Gradually, the Switch is starting to look more interesting... I'm still not buying it, though. Not until I see the changes I want.

I'm all for accessories but I'm not too sure I get the appeal. I'll wait until Nintendo can capture my attention in a meaningful way.

I don't know how to feel about this. It looks like something that will never be used by any serious gamer, which means we are probably gonna be seeing an influx of casual trash like back in the Wii days. I mean it might be fun to try out but I could never imagine playing a real game that way for any length of time.

It is called Humor it was my 666 Post hence Nintendo being Evil which is why I added the CAPITALS and Dramatic Text.

It basically something that makes you laugh if you find it funny the Chemi8cal sends a signal in your Brain for a response.

So:
The new gimmicky controller thingy has something to do with Satan and enslavement. Did I get that right?

I don't see how any of this has anything to do with Satan.

    i thought everybody knew cocktails are like 75% ice
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Yeah but not like this.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It's not like they're complaining that their Slurpee is 99% ice or something, but if the cocktail calls for "shot of vodka, shot of vermouth, shot of gin, shot of Campari, three shots of juice, squirt of lemon" and ends up being a thimbleful of booze, that's a problem.
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    the funny thing is cocktails in norway are only allowed to have 1 20ml shot of booze
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    so..... yeah
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    we're used to only having a thimbleful of booze
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Booo.
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    same thing if you want whisky on the rocks or something, you can't get a double
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    but you could buy as many shots of whisky (or anything else) as you want and ask for a glass of ice and pour them in
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    it's dumb
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Maybe.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    There was a comparison of the number of Ibuprofen poisonings before and after they limited the maximum dosage per box or per pill (i'll look that up). No limit on the number of boxes you can still buy as many as you want, so people argued it was pointless.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    But the number of (accidental) poisonings dropped because drinking an entire package of ibuprofen pills went from "I need a new liver" to "I need a new box of Ibuprofen".
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Here we have ketoprofen that used to be prescription-only because of the risk of toxic dosages, but then they halved the dose per pill and sell them in bottles of six pills apiece instead of twenty and it doesn't need a prescription any more. Yes you can buy more than one bottle but people simply don't.
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Usually accidentally overdose of ibuprofen here is from people taking like cold medicine then ibuprofen for a headache and the combination is over what they need
