In it, the pair of Joy-Cons briefly raced each other across a hard surface Tron-bike style, trailing their wrist straps like tails. The whole thing made them look a lot like computer mice, and it was broadly assumed that this hinted at mouse controls for the Nintendo Switch 2.

Now a new patent published by Nintendo suggests players may be able to turn the controllers upside down and plug them into the ‘wrong’ side of the system. Instead of reporting an error, the patent suggests the Switch 2 could instead flip the display 180 degrees, essentially allowing the user to turn the system upside down.

A Pro Controller for Nintendo Switch 2 is likely to happen, and there’s plenty that can be done to improve on the original model.
