Good news, fishing game sickos: Nintendo has filed a patent for what looks like a reel to attach to your Switch 2 Joy-Con

Animal Crossing: New Horizon update 2.0 features.

I don't mean to get anyone's hopes too high, but Nintendo has seemingly filed a patent for an accessory that looks an awful lot like a fishing reel and I'm already hooked.

The two new Nintendo patents detail and even show mock ups of accessories that, if the Big N ever actually turns its ideas into a real product, would attach to your Switch 2's Joy-Cons. The first looks like a reel or crank of sorts, not too dissimilar to the Playdate's signature appendage, that uses the Joy-Con 2's mouse sensors to work and magnets to stay in place.
