Nintendo has filed many patents over time and in the vast majority of cases they come to nothing. However, the latest patent from Nintendo would be ideal for a fishing-type game. Yes, they have filed a patent for an attachable crank which features a clickable wheel. The device attaches onto the Joy-Con using magnets and has a rotary disc which is tracked by the mouse sensor through a window. The click is then transmitted to the SL button and a second button for pressing the SR. This could have a variety of uses, but whether it comes to anything is anyones guess.
