Nintendo has just revealed new pastel colors for its Nintendo Switch Joy-Con controllers. However, with most retailers offering other Joy-Con colorways at PHP 3,795, we can expect it to be priced similarly. A recently published patent filing from January 23 hints that the upcoming Nintendo Switch 2 might include Joy-Con controllers capable of predicting a player's next move. While the patent application is primarily a claim of intent rather than a guarantee of implementation, it does provide valuable insight into what Nintendo’s engineers are considering for future hardware. The original Switch already introduced features like magnetic attachment and motion controls, which have since become integral to the console’s identity. The Nintendo Switch, which has enjoyed a remarkable run over the past seven years, revolutionized hybrid gaming with its unique blend of handheld and desktop play. Its success has made it one of the best-selling consoles, particularly in the U.S., where it recently surpassed even the legendary PlayStation 2 in lifetime sales. Details are still under wraps, but an upcoming Nintendo Direct on April 2 is set to shed more light on the console’s capabilities.
