It may soon be possible to control your Nintendo Switch using your smartphone. The company has registered a patent for this technology. However, it is not yet known whether this will be implemented in the current version of the hybrid console, its successor, or whether it is just an idea for the future. Here are the details
Nintendo registers a new patent similar to Sony PlayLink
According to emerging information, this remarkable solution will focus on eliminating the need to have various physical controls available to perform local multiplayer sessions with the equipment.
As it is known, there are some games that can be played in groups of many people on the Nintendo Switch console. The new patent technology that attracts attention will also serve this purpose and provide a functional solution.
However, for now, there are no details of this function in the patent registration. Therefore, it is not possible to know exactly how it will work in practical terms. However, it is estimated that this is an innovation similar to a feature offered by Sony, called PlayLink, where group play is allowed.
Nubia has now introduced the Z70 Ultra model, which it has recently introduced to users, for the global market.
However, the difference between PlayLink and the new Nintendo patent is that this function will only show some specific buttons to give commands in the game. In the future, this technology could be a more convenient way to play games with family and friends without having to buy multiple accessories that would require more expense.
However, the fact that the patent has been registered does not guarantee that this technology will become a reality. Despite this, rumours suggest that the new patent could be integrated into the highly anticipated new Nintendo Switch 2. The successor to the Switch is expected to be announced in early 2025.
