RUMOR - detachable controllers of the NX have motion control, force feedback

GN Version 5.0

The following comes from LetsPlayVideoGames, who has heard new NX controller details from sources...

- reports of Eurogamer are accurate
- detachable NX controllers will support basic motion control, similar to the Wii Remote Plus
- a form of ''advanced vibration force feedback''
- designed to phase out the Wii Remote over time, featuring much of their same functionality
- Wii Remotes can be used in some NX games, though not all games are supported
- force feedback apparently similar to the Vive controller
- ''...in that it alters intensity, pulsing patterns and duration of vibration to mimic the sensation of a range of different movement types. It’s not just one vibration for all situations, there’s a notable difference between the hard abrupt feedback of a sword clash or the softer, longer thud of something like hitting a tennis ball.''
- one game to support all of this is Just Dance 2017, planned for launch


The information is based on two sources, one of which leaked Until Dawn: Rush of Blood a week before its initial announcement. As always, none of this is confirmed by Nintendo or its associates, so take it with a grain of salt.
