Nintendo files patent for hinged Joy-Con
Posted on 5 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch | 0 comments

Recently, a patent popped up in the official Japanese patent database for a hinged Joy-Con. As shown above, it would allow the device to be moved, and this applies even when the controllers are docked.

The following were all initially spotted by Twitter user @theprinceofiris. First up, a brand new costume for Mamori can be seen in a screenshot on the official Japanese website of the game, which shows her wearing a student outfit from the Officers Academy in Fire Emblem: Three Houses (see above).
Next up, Tiki gets a new outfit based on her classic appearance in the very first Fire Emblem game. In the Wii U version, Tiki only appeared in battle as part of some special moves, but she seems to be a permanent party member now, so you’ll have plenty of opportunities to see this new outfit:
