DS games and 3Ds in Nintendo Online? Yes please!
Can Nintendo really review the magic of the double screen of DS and its extremely successful DS and 3Ds with the next Switch 2? A new video (embedded below) illustrates a second screen accessory that is attached to a switch 2 has generated a desired opinion, but there is reason to believe that this functionality can see the light of the day.
To set the expectations, what we are talking about today is currently just one concept. Like the stunning circuit breaker of “Light Mode” 2, it was conceived and given by a very creative person. The video in question appeared on Reddit, and shows the 180-grade keyboard, Joy-Cons inserting into place and a screen supplement connected to the lower USB-C port. The hanging screen closes over the keyboard, rotates around, and then rolls open to detect a transformed 2 switch that cannot help but remind you of the legendary Nintendo DS family.
To fully understand how this concept is based on reality and not just a tube -free dream, it is useful to review what we already know about Switch 2.
The second screen would climb to the USB-C port of Switch 2.
When Nintendo finally revealed the new keyboard for the world, we learned many interesting announcements. But the two facts that apply here are how powerful the switch 2 will be, and that the hybrid handa will include USB-C ports in both at the top and bottom of the tablet style screen.
There is one more part for this puzzle: a recent Nintendo patent. In addition to confirming the mouse functionality for Switch 2, this newest patent indicates that the keyboard can be rotated and used normally when upside down. This is likely to be partially assisted by Joy-Cons that is magnetically joined now, rather than using a rail system.
The show in question indicates very intelligence why Switch 2 will need to roll upside down to use double screen connection. This is so it can avoid blocking the system discharge channels that are at the top, and use stretch games that help lead the keyboard on the dock. Basically, to have reinforced stability and not to disrupt the cooling.

So the clear question now becomes “why switch 2 needs a second screen?” If Nintendo continues to expand his internet service Nintendo to include additional keyboards, this would of course enable extensive DS and 3DS libraries. Switch 2 device is certainly capable of executing them.
I don’t believe Nintendo will encourage developers to create new games that require a second screen because it will alienate a large part of Switch’s user base. But don’t think for a second that Nintendo won’t want you to spend money on a switch accessory 2 so you can throw even more money in a “DS+3DS expansion Pack” for Nintendo Online.
I mean hey, Balance Wii Board – an accessory with highly limited use – sold in the north of 40 million units. Nintendo loves her accessories.
Here is something else to think: a lot of tasks. How many of us accidentally watch Twitch or YouTube while we are playing, especially cozy games that do not require such dedicated concentration. That second screen in a switch 2 has many possible applications.
Arguments against a double screen switch 2
But there are strong arguments against him, and the most convincing is the battery life. Next to the processor of a system, the screen is often what contributes most to the battery drainage. double That battery drainage can be problematic. However, Nintendo has done this before with solid results. A new 3DS XL can reach up to 7 hours of battery life if 3D functionality was not used. My is almost 10 years old and still manages more than 3 hours in maximum brightness.
The other concern is stability. A second screen accessory will need to be created in perfection to avoid the weight of the screen damaging the USB-C port.
Despite the good and the bad, I am ridiculously excited about this opportunity. Dual -screen functionality, in addition to mouse features and functionality that we do not even know yet, can seriously increase the value proposal and longevity of the circuit breaker.
