We're big Nintendo fans here at Creative Bloq, so we were fascinated to see renders showing what could have been had the gaming giant developed some its many unused patents. From modified Joy-Cons to novel Wii controllers, there are ideas we wish had reached development.
Like many tech companies, Nintendo files hundreds of patents for design concepts that never see the light of day. Now someone has gone to the trouble of sifting through them and creating realistic 3D renders of what some of the most interesting ideas could have looked like (see our roundup of the best Nintendo Switch deals if you're hunting for a bargain on a product that did reach market).
