Nintendo Switch, a patent for a touch pen to be connected to Joy-Con

Nintendo would be thinking of a touch nib to connect to Switch’s Joy-Con. The idea was patented by the USPTO last week.

From what can be deduced from the documentation published by the United States office (link in SOURCE), it would be a sort of “strap” for Joy-Con gifted – in the upper end – of a touch pen to be used for writing and / or drawing on the console screen when the console is in portable or handheld mode.

In addition to the possibility of changing the thickness of the lines drawn using the Joy-Con buttons in real time, the accessory should also take advantage of the HD Rumble functionality based on the actions performed in-game. The touch pen for Nintendo Switch could therefore be used together with Joy Con.
