As noted by VGC, the patent suggests that the player will be able to turn the controllers upside down and insert them in the opposite sides. The image on the display of the Nintendo Switch 2 would then flip, much like when you rotate a modern smartphone or tablet.

VGC reports that a new patent Nintendo filed suggests you can rotate the Switch 2 screen and still attach its bigger-than-before controllers. Of course, the OG Nintendo Switch Joy-Cons slid into place via a rail that made a satisfying snapping sound, but the hybrid-handheld's successor is using a slightly different method.

A new patent indicates that the upcoming Nintendo Switch 2 controllers could have a feature that may be surprising for some fans.

As reported by VGC, the patent suggests the Nintendo Switch 2 will operate with gyro mechanics in a similar way to how phones work without screen lock. Turning the phone different ways will see the screen flip to the correct way round.

In case you somehow missed it, Nintendo has confirmed the Switch Online service will carry over to the Switch 2.
