This isn’t going to be your year, ifPatrick Seybold, director of corporate communications at SCEA, is to be believed (I have a feeling he’s likely pretty reliable when it comes to such things.)

This GameCube Joy-Con set was worth all the trouble it took to build

A one-of-a-kind wonder You might’ve seen Photoshopped images of GameCube-style Joy-Con controllers for Nintendo Switch, but this project fromShank Mods–a combination of a WaveBird and 3D-printed parts–is the real deal.
