The Japanese fighting game Ketsu Battler, or "Butt Battler" in English, makes you put a Joy-Con in your pants in order to play it, which I guess I'm supposed to be happy about. A big update due July 30 will make it so players should shake the Joy-Con in their pants extra hard to be truly strong and win the game.
Last summer, Ketsu Battler devs warned Switch 2 players that the game originally made for Nintendo Switch might make their butts that have Joy-Cons in them "unexpectedly overpowered" due to the platform's increased processing ability. This year, spotted and translated by Automaton, developer KAYAC is actually intentionally increasing the "aura" of your bottom with the new "Butt Ass Zone" mechanic.
Now, I will clarify that you shouldn't actually put a Joy-Con up your ass to play Butt Battler. The idea is to put the controller in the waistband of your pants to mimic the way Ketsu Battler's characters have swords, axes, and other sharp objects sticking out from, indeed, betwixt their cheeks. So the upcoming Butt Ass Zone mechanic, or the Serious Zone, will require you to jiggle your controller that's in your pants harder, and with passion, so that your character's butt cheeks are enveloped in a warm glow – the magic ass aura, which improves both your character's base stats and special attacks.
So the Butt Ass Zone probably isn't what you were thinking, which I imagine was some version of a red room where ladies with exposed butts paddle your exposed butt with the USB-C cable you use to charge your Nintendo Switch 2. At the same time, the Butt Ass Zone in Ketsu Battler – where having a special, fast-moving butt fundamentally changes your DNA – is a place I'm wary of.
Otherwise, Ketsu Battler's next update will include new characters, a zero-gravity butt stage, and a permanent Butt Ass Zone stage. If you check it out, I encourage you to practice Joy-Con safety.
