The biggest video games hardware launch in five years is nearly upon us, and Nintendo has been doing plenty to promote it, inviting journalists, influencers, and soon, the public, out to try its new wares. One of the more bizarre things to come out of the showcase has been the developers’ emphasis on the most unexpected video game peripheral accessory of all — your pants, or pair of trousers.
In a response to a question asked on Wednesday noting that the Nintendo Switch 2 will have computer mouse-like features, but that people generally game on consoles sitting in front of their TVs without any desks in sight, Nintendo hardware employees responded that you can use your pants as the desk. Huh?
