engadget.com Unknown 2025-11-29 20:14:21

Nintendo has eyed adding a Playdate-style crank to the Switch 2, according to a recently spotted patent from Nintendo Patents Watch. The hypothetical accessory would add tracking rotational movement to an existing bag of Joy-Con 2 controller tricks that includes motion and mouse controls. Based on the patent application, the crank accessory attaches to the side of a Joy-Con 2 magnetically, not unlike the controllers' wrist straps. Whichever game supports the accessory can use the Joy-Con 2's mo

gizmodo.com Natalia Mesa 2025-11-30 05:55:22

For people with diabetes, high blood sugar can damage blood vessels and nerves, leading to chronic wounds that stay open for months.

The new treatment targets thrombospondin-1 (TSP-1), a protein that inhibits the growth of new blood vessels, a crucial step in the healing process.

With a Switch 2 in tow, your original Switch is likely gathering dust. The sequel handheld is an upgrade—a spec bump.

Nintendo's upcoming app lets kids smoosh Mario's face

engadget.com Unknown 2025-11-30 15:01:51

Nintendo just announced a forthcoming app called Hello Mario! that's headed to iOS, Android and the Switch in Japan. The free app seems pretty basic, as it's just a giant Mario head that users can poke and prod. That sounds eerily reminiscent of the intro screen of Super Mario 64. The company says that Mario will react in various ways based on player input. His face will even turn "around and around on the screen" when manhandled.
