Nintendo has a patent filed for an apparent dual-screen console that can be split in half and become two separate handheld devices.

    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.

    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.

        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.

    And then one screen starts drifting and Nintendo won’t do shit about it except sell you another screen with the same drifting problem.
