Last October, Nintendo filed a patent in the US featuring a portable system with interchangeable controls. The patent was just published today.

Essentially, Nintendo’s idea would allow users to come up with their own configurations for controls. You could, for example, swap out the d-pad with something else. Need an extra analog stick? That’d be possible as well – you’d be able to add a new one in by exchanging a different part of the system.

You can get a better idea of the patent by checking out the filing here. It’s probably clearer than my explanation!
