I read somewhere that one of the rumors is the joycons are going to be bigger and there's also a rumor about them being magnetic 🤷

Hal effect would be great but I don't think they'll do it they made so much money off of joycon sales

[–] flamingarms@feddit.uk 7 points 4 months ago

I think the rumor was about them attaching magnetically to the main unit, not that the joysticks would be Hall effect.

[–] TAG@lemmy.world 4 points 4 months ago

Do they? I thought they replace stick drift joycons for free. I guess it depends on how many people take advantage of that vs. buying a new set of controllers.

Yes the magnetic rummor is quite big and i have concern with that. But hey surprise me better Nintendo

[–] slimerancher@lemmy.world 3 points 4 months ago

I think rumours about them being magnetic stem from the patent they filed a few years ago. Bigger could mean more ergonomic, so that could be good.
