    I guess I don’t have much faith in the ability for magnets to stick well enough to the console.

      so far all we have is rumors, but i think the stuff i read said that they would be theoretically stronger than the plastic rails, at least from forces from specific angles. They’re supposed to use this new kind of electromagnet tech where it only needs a small burst of energy to activate or deactivate the magnet. Time will tell if Nintendo can actually pull that off, but it sure would be neat!

      I dunno, I’ve played with magnets that have the ability to pull their way through my hand before, so it’ll all come down to implementation. Sounds more reliable than some plastic.
