Nintendo experiments with the technology surrounding their latest consoles. It seems that another one of their experiments have reached the patent form. Yesterday, Twitter user @StomachCramp found new patents containing a new Joy-Con design. In the patent, the Joy-Cons were able to bend along a hinged component. The use of the Joy-Con is illustrated in the patent:
