Does Nintendo have any more announcements to share with us before the end of the year? This is very likely. Indeed, the Japanese firm is currently working on yet another device designed for its favorite console.

It must be recognized, the Nintendo Switch does not lack accessories. And in a few days, a new object for the machine should be presented. This is what seems to indicate a patent application filed by the Japanese brand with the Federal Communications Commission (or FCC) in the United States.

Unearthed by SamusHunter2 on Twitter, the patent in question indicates the design of a new controller with the prefix HAC. The latter is used on all products related to the Nintendo Switch. As Eurogamer explains, the console is listed HAC-001, its dock HAC-007, the Pro controller HAC-013 and the Ring-Con HAC-022. Thus, we have no doubt as to the usefulness of this famous new product.


Moreover, still according to this document, the controller will be presented by Nintendo within the next 180 days (that is to say a period extending until next March). It remains to know its precise characteristics or its real usefulness in game.
