My 3DS has it too!
Nintendo patents lots of things, so I wouldn’t put too much importance behind this, personally.
You say that, and then you link concept art of wii u gamepad?
That’s actually 2015 patent that surfaced ahead of the Nintendo Switch announcement. It described an all-touch-screen handheld console with two analog sticks and shoulder buttons as the only controls.
That’s really cool tbh, I love crazy mockups like this
If you’re interested, I found the patent PDF
And then one screen starts drifting and Nintendo won’t do shit about it except sell you another screen with the same drifting problem.
Hall effect screens when? XD
Hmm… the device has 3 screens. (The third is visible when the device is closed)
I can’t imagine a reason to do this… other than to facilitate brining mobile games over.
…
There was a rumor way back that the switch was going to run Android. Obviously that didn’t happen. But it makes you wonder.
I mean, my switch has run Android and Ubuntu at various points (Ask me how!)
A. This is kind of cool.
B. I very much do not want this for a switch successor. As bad as the switch ergonomics are, there’s no way this isn’t worse.
Oh look, it’s DS2.
Nintendo Dual Switch
Whatever brings us closer to a Switch SP clamshell, or Switch Micro. Or they could just reissue the 3DS every 10 years and I’ll buy another.
