I think we all know that patents don’t usually mean anything and aren’t an indicator of a product actually coming to launch, but what do you all think of a potentially smaller, more portable Switch?
Switch DS let’s goooo
Having a pocketable game console again would be nice. I’d probably get a switch nano if it’s the size of like a PSP, 3dsxl, or something.
Hmm… the issue with a smaller Switch invariably means a smaller battery. Also, the Joycons are quite small as it is.
It’ll probably sell, as Switches are wont to do, but I wouldn’t see myself in the market for one, were I in the market for a new Switch,
So an even worse Switch? How about no.
An official Nintendo version of the Retroid pocket flip would actually be pretty sweet.
I can see them diverging again with a beefy next get one (aka switch 2), but then also introducing a nano switch. The only issue I think is if they are both introduced at the same time and only the switch 2 can play switch 2 games (and is backwards compatible) and the nano could only play switch 1 games, then consumers will be confused.
Will that be confusing? Nintendo released the Game Boy Micro (only plays Game Boy Advance cartridges) after the DS (DS and GBA cartridges). I don’t think too many people were confused.
To avoid confusion, Nintendo should name their next system something other than Switch 2, Switch Next, or something else with Switch in the name. Then again, I cannot understand the Xbox naming convention is a bit nonsense but no one is out rioting in the streets.
