One feature of the Nintendo Switch that makes the console stand out is it’s very clever controllers; the Joy-Con. Not only can they be used in a multitude of ways to suit your play style and the number of people you are playing with, both the left and right controller also boasts Nintendo’s very own HD Rumble.
A man in Sydney, Australia named Chris on Reddit is saying that the HD Rumble from the Joy-Con helped him find a tumour in one of his hands. When playing Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, and most notably when picking up in-game coins, one of his palms started to hurt. Over the course of time, it got worse but never caused him nearly as much discomfort when playing on his Xbox or PC.
“I’m a programmer, and it was a pretty busy time at work, so I just put it down to [a repetitive stress injury] or something similar,” Chris told Kotaku over email. “I thought maybe it’d go after a few quieter days.” But the pain gradually got worse and so Chris went to the doctors and is now due for an operation to remove a small but a painful tumour in his hand. He said if it wasn’t for the Switch, he would never have visited the hospital to go and get it checked out.
Nintendo saving lives!!!

Nintendo saved MY life in ways I’d rather not talk about.
Let’s hope this is something that doesn’t keep happening.
Not help people?
Of course, helping people is one of the best things people can do. I mean switch owners finding tumors in their hands. Lol
I hope you meant just the tumor part because finding them is awesome.
The last time Nintendo afflicted any hand injury was the Mario Party 2 tug of war minigame. lol
Wasn’t tug of war from Mario Party 1?
Correct.
Thanks for your reply. I am sorry that I didn’t mention that my question was for PBJ89 but I appreciate that you answer it. I wish this site allows the option to reply to everyone regardless of how many times I replied.
I agree completely.
Nintendo keeps people alive, now THATS Nintendo power.
Nintendo QOL secretly began with the Switch.

Lmao ok so sounds like his hand got so cramped playing with the joycons that he noticed it was something not normal? Don’t really think that’s a good thing on Nintendo’s part
That’s not what the article says, did you even read it he said everytime picking up ingame coins the joycon would vibrate the rumble triggers when that happen you know it vibrates, there is nothing in this article that says he got cramp from holding the grip
Some people can’t be bothered to even read these days. Even if they do, you have people who ignore the facts to come up with a narrative that best suits their agenda.
I never heard of this before?.
No, he should know when to take a break but Nintendo did help him notice something wrong which has been around for a while so points to Nintendo helping him see that.
Hand tumor? I never heard of this experience before. I heard of other tumors but not this one.
You can have a tumor grow in virtually any area of your body, just some are more common than others.
Any area huh? Even your feet too?.
Yes, I’ve seen cases like that as well.
Well, I guess you people are right.
A tumor is an amass of human cells that have grown too much in one single place so yes. You can virtually get a tumor anywhere on your body. BUT not all tumors are fatal.
Mmm maybe your right.
This, is the power of HD rumble!!!
Who need rumbling shoulder button triggers when you got the whole thing?
True. I can’t wait to see what the future holds when better HD Rumbles comes in the future!
The TRUE vitality sensor
hahaha

EVERYBODY BUY A SWITCH TO FIND TUMORS!
Is the vibration really that strong or is it possibly the form and function together?
I had one of those aftermarket PS2 remotes with the big motors for rumble, that would find anything I’m sure, it even broke the triggers.
I never even touch my Joy-Cons. They’re too small, and the click on the sticks are too sensitive. I kept making SO many mistakes in Breath Of The Wild with the Joy-Cons. Switched to the Pro Controller and never made a mistake again.
Probably got the tumor from playing xbox.
