Latest Nintendo patent involves haptic feedback
Posted on 9 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in General Nintendo, News | 15 Comments
Yet another Nintendo patent has been found. Back in March, the company filed for a device involving haptic feedback. This was only just published today.

Here’s another interesting image included in the filing:
Just like the patent from earlier today, we don’t know if anything will actually come from this. It’s an interesting find in any case!
