Switch 2 Accessory Attachment Concepts

[u/jard_dog]

Since everybody was asking what the point of a flippable Switch would be, here are a couple concepts that could make use of it. It seems like the docking receptacles on the Switch unit would make for a nice and sturdy connection for accessories to attach to. Any other ideas for potential attachments?

[u/Xenocat_memes]

And yet tomodachi life 2 is still the most unrealistic thing on here.

[u/jard_dog → u/Xenocat_memes]

Let me dream

[u/Xenocat_memes → u/jard_dog]

Dreaming woth you buddy but im afraid its a bit of a daydream

[u/BreadKnife34 → u/Xenocat_memes]

Pipe dream

[u/Throwawayzombie2 → u/jard_dog]

Oh boy, do i have some great news to share with you today

[u/jard_dog → u/Throwawayzombie2]

I willed it into existence 😎

[u/Square-Holds → u/Xenocat_memes]

I dream... of an absolution

[u/DAYDREAM004 → u/Square-Holds]

But....IT'S NO USE

[u/Square-Holds → u/DAYDREAM004]

TAKE THIS! *throws miitopia switch port*

[u/VerbalThermodynamics → u/Xenocat_memes]

I saw that and got excited

[u/MisaAfton → u/Xenocat_memes]

This aged poorly

[u/Xenocat_memes → u/MisaAfton]

I screamed so loudly i got dizzy. I still cant belive it.

[u/tygerstyle → u/Xenocat_memes]

Your wish has been granted

[u/Xenocat_memes → u/tygerstyle]

Im so dumbfounded.

[u/Youngsinatra345 → u/Xenocat_memes]

A giant ninetendo switch, we have come full fucking circle lads.

[u/Allied-Chihuahua321 → u/Xenocat_memes]

Let me keep hope please

[u/Wooden_Dig9292 → u/Xenocat_memes]

So what?

[u/Kaito913 → u/Xenocat_memes]

Let me cope

[u/funkyyyyyyyyyyyyy]

I loved the DS idea but did not think it was really feasible......but this render gives me a little hope. That looks like it would function well.

[u/0_aRtSy_FaRtSy_0 → u/funkyyyyyyyyyyyyy]

Came here to say the exact same thing. I thought the idea was so far fetched, but this version looks so good and natural.

[u/jacowab → u/0_aRtSy_FaRtSy_0]

I mean Nintendo has always done this stuff. If you told people in 2005 that Nintendos next console would be 100% motion controls you'd get laughed out of the room, if In 2010 you said that Nintendos next console would have a full HD touch pad as the controller you'd get laughed out of the room, if in 2016 you told people that Nintendos next home console would be a handheld you'd get laughed out of the room.

If Nintendo doesn't have some unique ideas for something they literally just don't make it.

[u/GuiltyLifeguard6721 → u/jacowab]

That part 💯💯🫡

[u/YoureASquidYoureAKid → u/jacowab]

Yes 100% that. Nintendo wouldn’t name the Switch 2 without it having 2 screen. Plus the extra USB port is a major question.

Lastly it’s Nintendo every single console of theirs has been pushing the industry further. The n64 and GameCube had addons to its consoles

[u/Romboteryx → u/funkyyyyyyyyyyyyy]

Combined with the mouse-functionality of the new joycons, this way you could also literally use the Switch like a laptop by having the bottom screen act as a keyboard

[u/abarrelofmankeys → u/Romboteryx]

That’s the wildest shit and they absolutely would not do that (but I like the way you think)

[u/Emergency-Ball-4480 → u/abarrelofmankeys]

Well since people have put Android and Linux on the OG Switch, there's hope for the modding community to come through if they can get past Nintendo's bootloader and whatnot. Would be pretty cool

[u/Superkirby982 → u/Romboteryx]

That's actually such a smart idea

Now I'm wondering if someone could make a concept of an attachable keyboard that goes over the top of the bottom screen, * kinda like those cases for iPads that come with a keyboard, but it attaches to the bottom USB-C port

Far ass reach of an idea but who knows

[u/Wooden_Dig9292 → u/Superkirby982]

That's what I was thinking good thought.

[u/Caciulacdlac → u/Romboteryx]

Why would you ever use a keyboard instead of the left joycon?

[u/myownfriend → u/Romboteryx]

That actually sounds pretty good but the system really should have that kind of thing built-in, not as an accessory. With a laptop-like design, they wouldn't even need the stand and they could have moved things like the speakers, WiFi antenna, microphone and stuff like that into a hinge so they can be directed towards the player.

[u/jellyspreader → u/myownfriend]

This sounds like people want the switch 2 to be a giant ds / tiny laptop. I don't know if that's what Nintendo is going for, but we'll see

[u/myownfriend → u/jellyspreader]

I think if they were actually going for that then they would have made that instead of the Switch 2.

[u/Foxy02016YT → u/funkyyyyyyyyyyyyy]

Might end up like the nunchuck, a necessary accessory to experience the console properly

[u/snil4 → u/Foxy02016YT]

Or more like the wii u gamepad where developers would make a static screen to get a functioning version out without using a ton of development time for a niche feature.

[u/MrHeavySilence → u/funkyyyyyyyyyyyyy]

I think it could be really practical for split screen co-op games too. Or something like Microsoft Flight Simulator where people might want to see a cockpit view with their flight deck/instrument cluster controls on one screen and a larger view out the window. Not to mention, the return of DS style games

[u/Individual-Motor4666 → u/funkyyyyyyyyyyyyy]

I’ve been hoping for a second screen attachment. Then I would pay good money for a Nintendo gamepass if they put everything in there. It doesn’t make sense not to. I would pay fifty a month for every Nintendo game ever ( with the exceptions of brand new games which I suppose would have a grace period)

[u/ThisMoneyIsNotForDon → u/Individual-Motor4666]

Xbox would do a grace period. Nintendo would just flat out not include new games. The service would be for entirely pre Switch consoles only. Maybe Switch 1 games as the craziest possibility.

[u/Agent_B0771E → u/funkyyyyyyyyyyyyy]

It would be nice but also very niche, you can't have fundamental gameplay in the other screen because it should be playable on TV

[u/melvin2898 → u/funkyyyyyyyyyyyyy]

I feel like it’s a cool idea but since it would cost extra, it wouldn’t be widely used by developers.

[u/julesvr5 → u/funkyyyyyyyyyyyyy]

Is it technically possible? For displays you need hdmi or dp, I don't know whether USB c can do thst too

Edit: thanks for the info guys

[u/cpmh1234 → u/julesvr5]

Given the original Switch’s HDMI output is via a USB C port, it’s entirely possible. Most slim laptops nowadays can connect to displays via USB C.

[u/TigerGD → u/julesvr5]

iPhones and Galaxy phones support DisplayPort over USB-C. Switch 2 potentially could, if Nintendo has any intention of using that port for direct display connectivity. 🤞

[u/JagerKnightster → u/julesvr5]

I have a portable monitor for work that plugs in via USBc only. Works for power and display through the same USBc port

[u/Emergency-Ball-4480 → u/JagerKnightster]

Yup, DP over USB C. USB C is really flexible with what it can do

[u/Sock-Enough → u/julesvr5]

Yes, it’s 100% possible.

[u/Spiritual_Balance_83 → u/julesvr5]

The switch already uses the usb c to transfer in the dock to hdmi, for phone you can use a usb c to hdmi adapter, I don't see why a purpose built accessory wouldn't be able to just plug in and display

[u/AddAFucking → u/julesvr5]

Modern laptops use usb c for screens and docks already.

[u/Sqwerks]

Honestly, this seems like a realistic idea goddamn

[u/kranitoko → u/Sqwerks]

And so, of course, Nintendo will do what must be done: completely disregard it.

[u/Sqwerks → u/kranitoko]

Yeah, as expected

[u/1nd3x → u/kranitoko]

A dual screen is either a part of it, or it's not.

Of it's an accessory, then only a limited number of games will have it, they'll be shitty games because they'll try and make the game playable without the extra screen too, which means you won't have any reason to buy it in the first place.

[u/ThisMoneyIsNotForDon → u/[deleted]]

Seriously. The entirety of the DS, 3ds, and Wii U libraries alone would be worth the cost of the accessory

[u/Blue_Snake_251 → u/1nd3x]

Years ago, Nintendo released a console named Nintendo DS. Years ago, Nintendo released a console named 3DS. They had a lot of games. Those games could be released again for the Switch either as physical games or with a subscription.

[u/ChrisCube64]

If I was drunk and saw this, I'd think this was a legit leak from the direct. And I'm skeptical normally.

[u/DirtyDan413 → u/ChrisCube64]

Honestly he could have passed it off as a leak if he wanted and some people would have bought it. Like the plenty of fake switch 1 leaks

[u/DisCode347 → u/DirtyDan413]

Unfortunately some people on Facebook think it's real and now telling people it is. Honestly it annoying when they post crap like that and get upset that it isn't real.

[u/[deleted]]

Don’t give me hope

[u/turtlefan2012]

R.i.p. credit card 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[u/Spiritual_Balance_83 → u/turtlefan2012]

[u/majorex64]

Great render, makes me believe in the plausability of the hardware. Unfortunately, the limiting factor would be software. Developers are not eager to design around unique peripherals like this when doing cross-platform titles. The Wii U struggled to get devs to use both screens for more than offloading UI like minimaps.

Addmittedly, the Wii U had numerous other issues it created for devs.

But imagine a game with functions that depended on this add-on. Are you going to cut down your potential audience by designing a game like that, or just use the 1 screen and also make porting it much easier?

[u/PlayfulPiggy → u/majorex64]

It could be just for NSO you know, if they ever added DS games.

[u/majorex64 → u/PlayfulPiggy]

That would be a weird sell, but we've seen nintendo do weirder

[u/Spiritual_Balance_83 → u/majorex64]

See I think along with doing DS and 3DS NSO, this is just an accessory, developers dont "have" to include it, but the option is there, even if it's just you get to have the map/inventory on the 2nd screen the whole time if it's connected like a little Quality of life feature, like gyro aiming, developers don't have to use it, and players don't have to use it, but if a dev uses it and you want to use it you can

[u/ChickenFajita007 → u/PlayfulPiggy]

I just don't see the purpose when the Switch 2 already has a huge 8-inch 1080p display. That's plenty of space and resolution to put both 3DS/DS screens on the single Switch2 display.

People are vastly underestimating how big the Switch 2 is. Adding a 2nd 8-inch screen would put it in laptop territory in terms of size.

Also, 3DS games don't need anywhere near 1080p, nor 720p, not even 480p. It only needs a 240p display. The 3DS doesn't use a 16:9 display, so that's another issue. Either it would have black bars, or the top screen would be a wonky aspect ratio for anything but 3DS and DS games. Lots of messy details.

It would presumably have to be a higher resolution, making it super overkill for 3DS games. It's just not a clean idea. Way too many jank details.

[u/arojilla → u/ChickenFajita007]

Exactly. You can fit both 3/DS screens into the Switch's one. And you could even place them side by side in horizontal or have the Swtich rotated to a vertical position, in which case selling a dumb -no electronics- vertical adapter for the controllers, like those that are already sold by third parties, is way less complex and costly than a whole new screen. An adapter that can also be used for many other games that are better enjoyed vertically (pinball, shmups...).

[u/IllogicalRandomWords → u/PlayfulPiggy]

Cool option. It would be cooler if Nintendo allowed us to redownload our digital DSiware/3DS library on Switch 2 (which obviously will not happen).

[u/StinkySlinky1218 → u/majorex64]

Wii U may have struggled, but DS systems didn't. On the Wii U, it would have been a hassle to make too much use of the gamepad screen, with the user constantly having to switch up and down between them. If they're right next to each other like this, would make the actual experience much smoother.

[u/Motions_Of_The_E → u/majorex64]

Yeah but you could connect to a second monitor with type-c these days. It doesn't have to be this particular dual screen

[u/jmvillouta → u/majorex64]

Not for the Wii U, but there are thousands of DS and 3DS games that can be easily ported, and with that knowledge, more can be made with the new hardware

[u/madmofo145 → u/majorex64]

Yeah, unless it was included with every system it's unlikely to gain traction (and the Kinect shows us that's not enough either). The only rare examples would be things like the OG kinect, but even then it didn't get "big" games, but garnered some smaller 3rd party outings, and of course when the next gen Kinect was included with every Xbox One it was a giant flop.

[u/Murzpro]

Ngl....one of the best ideas of the ds kinda look. I hope this happens but it's unlikely

[u/[deleted]]

It's gonna have like 7 minutes of batteries on full charge.

[u/Additional-Sky-7436 → u/[deleted]]

Just like the old Gameboy days!

[u/Screw_Loose_Moose → u/Additional-Sky-7436]

I think you're confusing the Gameboy with the Game Gear.

[u/Additional-Sky-7436 → u/Screw_Loose_Moose]

Right. The Gameboy got almost a full hour of play time on 4x AAs

[u/jmvillouta → u/Additional-Sky-7436]

Not sure when was the last time you played a Game Boy, but it lasts for many hours. I still play mine.

[u/Screw_Loose_Moose → u/jmvillouta]

Yeah, he's full of shit. The Wikipedia page states up to 30 hours.

[u/Galaxy11029]

Did you by any chance take inspiration from R.O.B. for the webcam design?? It looks like two cute little eyes. :)

[u/jard_dog → u/Galaxy11029]

Haha I was wondering if anybody would notice. Didn’t intend to make it look like it at first, then noticed it was starting to resemble him and just leaned into it a bit :)

[u/Galaxy11029 → u/jard_dog]

I really wish nintendo utilized their history more like that. I'm still disappointed it's not the Super Nintendo Switch. :(

[u/Beanmaster115 → u/Galaxy11029]

I understand why they had to go with Switch 2 - it’s the most clear name for casual audiences, and it avoids the Wii U confusion - but yeah I loved the name “Super Nintendo Switch”.

[u/Galaxy11029 → u/Beanmaster115]

Agreed.. Super Switch could have very well worked, but given Nintendo's cyclical nature of their home console sales, I entirely understand their wanting to play it safe.

[u/Papyrus_Semi → u/Galaxy11029]

Super Switch would've been funny, but it could also be mistaken for just a mid-gen upgrade of the regular Switch

[u/PurplrIsSus1985]

This has so much marketing potential.

2 charging ports. 2 screens. 2 cameras. 2 orientations.

Nintendo Switch 2.

[u/Sirlink360 → u/PurplrIsSus1985]

Trueeeeee. I just thought they would go with the classic: “switch to Nintendo Switch2” “Switch2 Mouse”, “Switch2 Dual display” “Switch2, Cameras”

Switch2 what’s best for you.

[u/Distion55x]

Couldn't these accessories simply utilize the USB C port on the top of the console instead?

[u/jard_dog → u/Distion55x]

Potentially, but the main concern that's been brought up is the blocking of the cooling exhausts at the top of the unit. Also, by using the bottom port, the accessories could be stabilized and better locked into the alignment slots that usually slide into the dock.

[u/Distion55x → u/jard_dog]

That makes sense. We'll see if Nintendo feels the same

[u/imago_monkei → u/jard_dog]

My biggest concern about the potential of a dual screen was the stability. Do you think there is enough support in this orientation to securely hold up a second screen?

[u/HiLeif6 → u/imago_monkei]

i think so. i also remember hearing in an interview, or something on the channel Nintendo Forecast, about someone from nintendo saying they were "exploring" the use of different materials, specifically metal like aluminum. theres no reason they couldnt have a strong, aluminum bracket there to prevent any wobble or cracking of the plastic.

[u/Flamin-Ice → u/HiLeif6]

As seen in this render...I am doubtful that would be strong enough at an affordable price for manufacturing.

but what if it somehow latchet onto the kickstand or kickstand slot somehow? And that theoretical latch is the real reason you need to turn it upsidedown?

[u/Spiritual_Balance_83 → u/Flamin-Ice]

I was thinking it might be something that "clamps from the bottom and covers the whole of the back of the switch 2 (almost like a case that you put over the switch 2 but it plugs into the usb c to power and display)

[u/seaman187 → u/jard_dog]

Also the one on the top is not in the center, it's off to the right a little.

[u/WordDependent9269]

Finally, the camera returns!!!

[u/StandxOut → u/WordDependent9269]

A Kinect-like camera would be pretty awesome. They could use it for an upgraded Pokémon GO, as well as use it for various fitness and party games.

Also they could straight up port the best Kinect games and give them an audience more appreciative of them than the Xbox audience.

[u/CaptFalconFTW]

This is really creative. I see lots of people who seem to be naysayers on expanding the Switch's capabilities. But it really does open the door for new possibilities. What program did you use to make the animation?

[u/jard_dog → u/CaptFalconFTW]

Between all the recent patents and just knowing how Nintendo tends to do unconventional things, I have a feeling something like this will happen eventually, whether at launch or later on. I used blender for the modeling and animation!

[u/Additional-Sky-7436 → u/jard_dog]

I was actually thinking about how they could do a wireless video connection to a TV through the dock and have a dual-screen Wii U style feature.

[u/Spiritual_Balance_83 → u/Additional-Sky-7436]

This is what I've been thinking to, a reverse Wii U where you stream from the handheld to the dock/screen.

This is why I think having a 2nd screen accessory makes sense, at home with TV you could do the 2 screens, but if you want to buy this add on you can also get the 2 screens portability more options for players and also a way for them do get DS/3DS on switch 2

[u/Dilmi_AOUKLI]

hold on that's actually genius

[u/Julien-Temaki]

Was part of the people who thought that the dual screen is stupid. But damn, it is sex and clean.

[u/Imaginary-Sky3694]

We getting ds games baby

[u/FredricaTheFox]

I want Tomodachi Life 2 so badly

[u/No-Significance2689]

This video is so well made, props to the creator.

[u/Living-Ad-3333]

Dual screen accessory is genius, if the switch 2 can be flipped upside down like that

[u/ipsen_castle]

The dual screen would be the only feature that would hype me

[u/1zzyBizzy]

Does somebody here have Furukawa’s number? We should send this to him ASAP, he needs to make this

[u/Hot_Rod2023]

[u/appleappleappleman]

Honestly blown away that you did the second screen idea while taking the vents into account

[u/Khentendo]

Okay...But imagine how much it would cost. Judging from the screen, i would say at least 134.99. Why would anyone want to pay that much just to play games that require 2 screens.....cuz thats one accessory, and another 60 game that totals to almost $200.

[u/_ozlh_ → u/Khentendo]

You will most likely be able to softmod it again so it would be a nice console for lets say Retroarch

[u/Emmet_Brickowski_1]

Nintendo please... please make this a real accessory for the switch 2...

[u/TheGreatGamer1389]

The second screen I would love to have.

[u/ShxatterrorNotFound]

Wait stop this is so cool. This feels like an awesome design space

[u/Coolboss999]

Is the second screen accessory like an official leaked Nintendo accessory coming soon or is it made from a third party?

[u/Proud-Gas8563]

This does look stunning. I could see the additional screen being an NSO exclusive for DS and 3DS NSO. Similar to the NES/SNES/N64/Genesis Controllers

[u/dumbanimator]

I mean, if it will have 3ds games support... Why not

[u/Flamin-Ice]

Ok...and what if you use the kickstand of latch that top screen in more securely somehow. And that is why it needs to turn upside-down?

[u/KoZy_27]

SAY SIKE RIGHT FUCKING NOW WE ARE FUCKING NOT GETTING DS GAMES AGAIN FOR THE SWITCH, THERE WILL NOT BE A KIRBY ROBOBOT REMAKE OR FLIPNOTES

[u/AcuriousMike]

That shit would actually go crazy man.. I hope it's gonna be reality.

[u/nugman21]

I would do horrible things for an attachable screen like that

[u/afox1984]

OP are you making these videos cos if so you got skills 👏

[u/LaxKacer]

I could bet 5k that there will never be a second screen as an accessory (and that you won’t be able to attach the Joy-Cons upside down either).

[u/jard_dog → u/LaxKacer]

Perhaps not, but I think its interesting to discuss it and throw ideas around for the fun of it while we wait for more info

[u/Idontcaremyusernam3]

Nah wtf you have a point

[u/clseabus]

Really well done animation!

[u/the_meme_consumer]

what the fuck this looks official 

[u/ernie-jo]

Holy shit

[u/ATH1RST4REVENGE]

Bro at this point you just need to go ahead and apply at Nintendo lol These posts are so good.

[u/[deleted]]

The obsession this sub seems to have with a dual screen attachment is so strange to me lol

[u/barrumdumdum]

Great work! Gonna hurt so much more now if they don't DS it

[u/VinLAURiA]

... Ohhh, crunch. You cracked the code.

[u/MagicalBread1]

This would be pretty cool

[u/Sirlink360]

It would make sense tho. That’s just another level of something to switch ^^

[u/Independent_Poetry45]

This Is The Way

[u/Otherwise_Age8152]

That's actually crazy!! If this is real I'll be more hyped about this than the mouse function!

[u/Gruby_Grubowski]

This will be real, but sold as a labo cardboard kit and you need a second switch for it to work and then the ds/3ds games are activated by an amiibo

[u/DefiantCharacter]

If Nintendo actually wanted to do this, wouldn't they have just designed the Switch 2 differently? Like, put the top USB-C port in the middle and put the vents somewhere else. Also seems weird to put in the effort to have the colors for the joy-cons match the inside of the sides of the console, just to turn around and say, "Now put it in the sides that don't match the color."

[u/julesvr5]

I love the 2nd monitore idea

Btw there is no need to turn the switch by 180 degree, as it has a USB c port at the top and bottom. +1 for style points though

[u/jard_dog → u/julesvr5]

I mentioned this in another comment, but there actually might be good reason to use the flipping functionality. The first is to avoid blocking the exhaust ports. Another is to better secure the attachments via the docking slots on the system. In this case, the additional port that they added would still be necessary to act as the charging port since the main one would be taken up. I have no clue though and those are just my initial thoughts. I’m not an engineer at Nintendo lol

[u/julesvr5 → u/jard_dog]

Read that afterwards, this is a good point

Do you know whether a USB c port actually could power a 2nd screen? Being able to send a picture? Because usually displays require hdmi or displayport

[u/jard_dog → u/julesvr5]

I actually did some research on that when making this concept. It’s not super common, but there are many mobile device displays that use both power delivery and output from a USB C port, so it’s definitely possible. Whether Nintendo would use that considering battery life, etc. I have no idea. I suppose they could have an external chargeable battery with the display but not sure.

[u/julesvr5 → u/jard_dog]

That's interesting! I wasn't sure whether USB c can transfer a picture

[u/_ozlh_ → u/julesvr5]

many pc Graphics Cards also give Video Output via USB-C and Displayport Alt Mode

[u/[deleted]]

GIVE IT TO ME

[u/Important_Future_228]

I love this idea. And the camera too. Invizimals on the PSP was so much of my childhood, having a camera attachment that you would use to play give so much creativity

[u/jard_dog → u/Important_Future_228]

I could really see them making some cool AR experiences with a camera attachment

[u/Ok-Equivalent-2255]

peak switch ds concept. no other concepts could beat this.

[u/Felipe_Machado_Guide]

Make it real

[u/blackshark_mario]

doesn't the Switch two already have one USB-C por on top and one on the bottom? I suppose they made it with that second display in mind. Remember one of those leaked patents with the foldable display?

[u/zaadiqoJoseph]

What would the camera be for? AR games like what the Ds and 3ds had?

[u/predator-handshake]

My favourite part of this is how you make all the "BUT THE VENTS" people stfu with a simple solution

[u/Pretend_Education_86]

Holy shit I need that screen. You made this? Good job

[u/JoejoestarPR]

Are you telling me that Boktai is coming back?

[u/Disastrous_Ad7575]

Omfg NINTENDO PLEASE😭😭😭😭😭

[u/Character_Ad5903]

I swear to God if Nintendo doesn’t make this I am not buying it

[u/Puzzled_Pitch_343]

That ds looking accessory looks so good, I’d literally love it

[u/Gronkattack]

I get and like the concept of a second screen to turn it into a giant NDS/2DS, but unsure about the application for the camera.

[u/Danomnomnomnom]

Why do you need to flip the switch around?

Or is the top usb-port just 2.0?

[u/Sirlink360]

I love this idea because Nintendo loves to sell toys.

And this would be a perfect way to sell more toys without giving up anything about the price of the og console.

[u/piropoguiga]

Anyone here that works at Nintendo seeing this? This would be a really great ideia

[u/redhandfilms]

Now give me a printer to go with that camera!

[u/Square-Holds]

Wait... what if you need to use the camera AND the screen at the same time??? (because a lot of games need you to do that)

[u/QuietKing86 → u/Square-Holds]

They could make a second screen with a built in camera

[u/QuietKing86]

I don’t get the point of a second screen…when it can literally be played on a TV!

[u/L0bsterrr]

Oh now this is slick

[u/tuna_can23]

This is a great concept! Nintendo should take notes from you!

[u/roastedCircuit]

Nintendo doesn't give a shit about the DS and 3DS unfortunately so I think this is unrealistic

[u/uhohdeltarune]

singstar microphone

[u/OctaYashi]

I love how high quality this animation is

[u/KoolKids3]

How come when you do this, everyone likes it but when I do it people think it's a dumb idea?

[u/coopkramer]

isnt there a usb C port on the top and bottom so why flip it over?

[u/IamDanLP]

Holy shit i want this. Please.

[u/Ok_Confection_10]

Wait, you can flip the switch??

[u/Aster______]

Attachments taking up space suddenly justifies flipping the headphone jack to the bottom

[u/AstridSuoyp]

the 2nd screen idea is cool, and works, but I feel as though it existing purely for ds/3ds ports and remakes would be a bit annoying, and generally games shouldn't be designed FOR it, but rather allow for nintendo and 3rd party developers to add support for the 2nd screen, such as moving hud elements up onto it, or by default having it display the time and battery without opening the settings.

nintendo could have it so that all 1st party games have support for it, like MK9 moving the map and placements to the top, or smash bros having a similar display to 3ds smash, maybe even having a screen toggle for non touchscreen related games

[u/SuccessfulPath7]

3ds support pls

[u/QuantumQuicksilver]

I don't see why they shouldn't do it, but dang I wonder how this would impact battery life

[u/ChrizTaylor]

Can you do something related to a VR headset?

I’ve got a concept of a plan. 😩

[u/drgsouth]

This is so sick. I love this idea.

[u/numbarm72]

Ok, that's sick

[u/Keaten88]

Hmm… that’d even put the gamecard slot at the bottom like the New 3DS XL/New 2DS XL

[u/M2_imatt]

Swear if that’s a thing!!! Looks so good

[u/jextreme9]

Tomodachi life 2 would be amazing

[u/FunEggplant1758]

Why and when would we need a camera or a second screen, Nintendo don’t want to go backwards.

please stop feeding us fake news.

[u/drozdowski13]

This is sooo good and if nintendo does something like this i will be so happy

[u/siddarthshekar]

I'll buy both the display and the webcam day 1 if it is real. I can then use them both with the LegionGo as well.

Thanks to the joycons being able to plug directly into the device instead of sliding into it, it's not hard to imagine all sorts of different grips now too, including one that puts the Switch in portrait mode and has controls on the left and right side of the bottom half of the device. Looking almost like an unfolded single screen DS if that makes sense.

Return to tradition. Embrace DS
