Patent for Nintendo portable thingy with swappable d-pad and buttons!

Wowee look at this from GoNintendo:

The subject of that kind of thing came up before but here we see it with all four of the d-pad/left analogue/buttons/right analogue components being 100% interchangeable!

It sounds like a crazy cool idea though I can picture those bits and pieces going missing by people who won't take care of their stuff before moving it on to a second-hand shop.

But wait... depending on what those things are like, maybe they could be 3D printed! That's just my imagination going a bit wild but... how futuristic would that be!
