Nintendo Labo comes with comprehensive instructions with the software that shows you how to build the different creations. As part of this, users can manipulate the camera when different pieces are shown to get a better look. The Joy-Con is also present here.
If you move the camera in a certain way, you can get it to show the inside of the Joy-Con. Nintendo didn’t just model the outside though. If you attempt to go inside of the Joy-Con, you’ll see that it’s fully modeled as well and get a better idea of the functionality inside.

Immortal Redneck, a first-person shooter set in Egypt with rogue-lite elements, is gracing the Switch eShop in May. Developer Crema announced this week that it’s on track for May 10.
There’s good news to share for fans of Doom’s recent Switch update, as Crema has confirmed that Immortal Redneck will have a similar control option. That means you’ll be able to play the game with gyro motion controls. Of course, it’s entirely optional, so standard controls will also be included.
Thanks to Mike for the tip.

The Snack World: Trejarers Gold debuted in Japan on April 12. Through April 15, the game sold about 35,000 copies. Dengeki further reports that it sold through 65% of its initial shipment.
Originally, The Snack World originally appeared on 3DS last year. It managed to sell somewhere around 100,000 copies in its first week with a 55% sell-through rate.
Given that the Switch release is an enhanced version that’s coming out a year later, The Snack World: Trejarers Gold had a pretty good debut. Sales may also receive a bump during Golden Week.
