Hardware Switch DS(concept art)

[Daniel72]

-Portable Mode (@ClassyDragon )

-Docked Mode

I know this is never going to happen, but I thought this would be kinda cool(especially for mario maker). Other issues can be fixed through the top screen but there is one big problem, which is covering the cooling fan(I don't know how it should be fixed). Spent 2~3 days making it. How do you guys think?

Very interesting and I love the concept. I'm holding my switch now and there's no way to attach anything to the top, but maybe it could use the USB c port. You're right in saying it will probably never happen but it's interesting none the less.

Cool design, I like it!

Like you said, it won't happen, but cool nonetheless!

Very interesting concept that I'd buy if not too expensive !
The docked mode should have a display option for the bottom screen... Works well with this second screen being on the switch screen, but it needs a clever way of displaying games where the action is displayed on the two screens at once (that Pikmin thing is the first one that I can think of)

Thanks for all the compliments! Should I do more of these concept arts?

Another way the screen could attach is with the Joycon rails. That's the most stable method I can think of. Cool concept!

Looks highly uncomfortable.. Interesting concept though.

They could make it that it's a big grip that goes all around, and grips over the back onto the front from top and bottom and plugs into the USB C port. I don't think this makes sense to you, I can't really describe it.

Yeah, sorta, but it's hard plastic so it just goes over a little bit on the actual console part.

I thought your idea was kinda cool so I used it. If it's not okay I'll switch it back to the original.

No worries! I'm glad you liked the idea!

Then put the right joystick at the same level as the left one, change back bottom buttons to triggers, change Tegra X1 for Tegra Volta based and then we can talk

Even Intel seem to have made a new cool CPU with 4.5W TDP, hell what about using it and then adding a custom Nvidia Volta based GPU, then 8GB GGDR5X in it LOL and boom a portable PS4 like rises LOL...

Why not turn the Switch into portrait orientation and have the two "screens" there? The joycons can be removed. Sure it would give less real estate for the game, but at least you wouldn't be dealing with an attachment.

If you want to collab with a 3D artist (for a high-res 3D render), shoot me a PM!

But then you wouldn't be able to play in docked mode. I first thought this idea as docked-only mode, but I just thought adding portable mode would be super nice so I added it.

Hey, that's some good and cool design .I like it. I really enjoyed the 2 screens era since the original DS, so I approve!!!

Congrats on your cool idea.
