The publication of this fact caused many guesses and speculations regarding the company’s future plans, especially the upcoming release of Nintendo Switch 2.
The patent describes a device similar to the 3DS, but with the ability to be split into two pieces for wireless play between two players.
When the device is connected it works like a DS or 3DS. An interesting point is that there is a touch screen on the outside of the console, which allows you to interact with the portable console even when it is turned off.
If this device sees the light of day, it could provide access to a large number of legendary Nintendo DS games in the Nintendo Switch Online library.
It’s also interesting that the device seems to be designed for portable use only. With the Switch, Nintendo has combined the handheld and home console markets thanks to the hybrid nature of the device.
