10 Video Games With Insane Features You Never Knew

10. It Knows The Colour Of Your Joy-Cons - Pokemon Sword & Shield

Pokémon Sword and Shield's accessible simplicity may have left some fans disappointed, but there's one small-yet-ingenious feature within the game that's anything but simple.

In the player character's bedroom, you'll notice a Nintendo Switch situated on their desk, and incredibly, the colour of your own Joy-Con will be represented on-screen.

This was quite brilliantly tested by Redditor bearfighter666, who demonstrated the phenomenon with two Nintendo Switch consoles side-by-side. And yet, if you've got one of the more "ordinary" Joy-Con colour schemes, you'll probably never even notice it.

But Sword and Shield isn't the only software to make use of this: the Switch's own UI will show the colour of your Joy-Con. Again, though, unless you're rocking non-launch colours, you won't give it any thought whatsoever.

This is a fascinating feature because it makes it clear that the different coloured Joy-Con have to send the Switch slightly different information, reporting their colour in addition to their orientation when they "handshake" with the console via Bluetooth.
