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.
