Nintendo might be working on a way to make account switching seamless with its next generation of controllers. These new controllers will apparently be able to store key user data, so here are all the details.
According to a recent patent spotted by @NWeedle, the company is apparently working on a new generation of controllers that can store your account data. While this might not seem like a major feature, it is a pretty interesting quality of life change. For example, if you’re going to play on a different console, you would typically have to tweak the settings as per your preference. However, thanks to the user data being stored in the controller this hassle will be more or less eliminated.
The pros don’t just stop here since the patent also hints at the controllers saving users, preferences, settings, and possibly even certain game data as well. Thanks to this patent, Nintendo might soon allow its future consoles to detect the users account to inherit his recorded games, personalization settings, and more. In simpler terms, one would simply need the controller to go and start playing his games from his new Nintendo console to the existing Switch. This would also work the other way around as well.
This, in turn, would also remove the hassle of constantly having to login to your accounts on every device you own from the brand. Meaning, it will basically be a lot more simpler to just plug and play, making the process seamless. Keep in mind that this is still just a patent, so we have no way of confirming if this will actually come out for the current Switch or not.
