It's fucking over. Nintendo has patented the crank.

Playdatebros.... I don't feel so good...

Japan's patent system is ultra retarded and heavily encourages patent trolling so it's understandable that jap companies keep making these gay ass patents

NINTENDO BASS FISHING PRO DX 2.5 CONFIRMED BABY!!!!!

>>717544219 (OP)
That doesn’t mean much. Companies make dozens of patents like this but only a few actually make it past that.

fishing kino incoming

>>717546040
Playdate devs will just port their shit to the Switch 2.

>>717546040
it's not even the same product, one's a game system and one's an accessory for a controller
it's not like playdate was the first in the industry to do crank controls, nintendo's actually did it themselves before playdate with labo and SEGA did their fishing controller nearly 2 decades ago at this point

I can't imagine a crank peripheral will be useful for anything other than fishing games.

mite b cool for lockpicking

Nintendo Labo 2, get hyped my niggas

>>717544219 (OP)
>he doesn't understand how company R&D works

They unironically probably patented that because in the even that something at all in their product line for the next 30+ years needs a device that could be argued as "rotating" like a crank they can pull that shit up and be like uh actually that was our idea.

it's just 4D chess in business form, it doesn't mean anything, it's like how apple patented the home button on the bottom middle of the original iphone, they'll do anything to stop people copying them.

>>717544219 (OP)
inferior to the REAL crank

>>717547963
I wish more people would make games for it I just wanna fish weird things out of the sea

>>717547963

>>717545164
it recharges the controller while you play a fishing game

pretty ingenious actually

>>717546040
Nintendo will retroactively file patents and sue the shit out of them.

We need more fishing games because I need more fishing girls

>>717549428
