A sense of touch that goes beyond mere vibrations
Föreställ dig ett glas med iskuber. Med HD rumble kan du känna hur de rör sig och stöter emot kanterna inne i din Joy-Con när du vrider och vänder på handkontrollen.
Det finns en, det finns en till ... HD rumble känns så realistiskt att du till och med kan avgöra hur många iskuber som finns där inne. Nästan som att hålla ett glas med iskuber på riktigt.
HD rumble-funktionen som är inbyggd i Joy-Con ger en spelupplevelse mer mer inlevelse än vad som är möjligt med enbart ljud och bild.
