According to Reggie Fils-Aimé, Nintendo was arduous at work on creating an adaptive controller. In a latest interview with Inverse, the previous Nintendo of America CEO disclosed that the product was within the works, and the writer had some fascinating concepts for it. 

Microsoft launched an Adaptive Controller for the Xbox One in 2018, made with the intention of being a extra inexpensive and approachable controller to these with restricted mobility. It featured quite a lot of customization choices, reprogrammable buttons, and help for third-party equipment. 

While controllers for disabled gamers exist in some capability for all three consoles, Microsoft is the one one to have a controller below the official Xbox model. Nintendo’s controller, in his phrases, would’ve been fully practical for the Xbox and PlayStation. “Imagine a controller you may play together with your newest Xbox, PlayStation, or Nintendo platform,” stated Fils-Aimé. “That’s what we had been engaged on three years in the past.”

Since Fils-Aimé left three years in the past in 2019, this controller would’ve been made for the Nintendo Switch (2017), and the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One (2013). Presumably, the controller would’ve labored with the latter consoles’ upgraded fashions, the PS4 Pro and the Xbox One S | X. 

As attractive as that sounds, Fils-Aimé admits that he is undecided what got here of the undertaking, or if it is even nonetheless in improvement. But he hopes it’s going to see the sunshine of day, significantly due to its touted characteristic of being a controller for all three main consoles. “My hope is that controller — and the power for that controller to attach with all the varied techniques — is launched and shared with customers as rapidly as doable.”

Fils-Aimé thinks that going ahead, the trade should make higher strides in the direction of being accessible for gamers, significantly with reference to controllers. “I do consider the perfect resolution is an trade resolution that may work for all the devoted gaming platforms and for PC, and may really be tailor-made to the participant relying on their bodily capabilities and what they’ll do.”
