Nintendo Consoles Have Always Had Revolutionary Controllers (Except That Ugly GameCube One)

In the world of the magic, the climax of a trick -- aka the grand reveal -- is known as the "prestige." Today, Nintendo officially announced more details on its Switch console, including that modular controller, dubbed JoyCon. In a video that is aimed to mimic a magician pulling off tricks, the Switch's general producer Yoshiaki Koizumi demonstrated just how much the JoyCon can do. The controller seems to be able to do everything. It's got enough buttons to be a traditional console controller, but there's also an accelerometer and gyroscope so it can do the same motion/gesture controls like the Wii's controller. That's not all: the JoyCon also has motion-depth infrared camera that can scan the distance and shape of objects, and a built-in haptic feedback engine that Nintendo calls "HD Rumble."
