A lot of people here in the Switch forum already have Switches. You can still buy an unpatched Switch if you try hard enough and possibly are willing to spend enough.
And the reasons why someone might want to run Android on a device that has a bigger screen than their phone and has gaming controls are um... because of the bigger screen and the gaming controls. Did you know you can use a Switch on a TV too using the dock?

Good times ahead for the switch.
Probably it has a brighter future than mine xD. Jokes aside though i could picture how well an android port to the switch would fare. I bet it could outperform most of today's mid range smartphones and tablets. and not to mention how many emulators could run well on this benefiting from it's CPU.

An Android phone would be great for gaming if you didn't have to use crappy touch screen controls to where your hand takes up 90% of the screen

The gamevice controllers are pretty good, essentially joycons

Let me guess, with Storage that is limited to 4, 8, 16 or 32GB? Not to mention some accept MicroSD Cards of equal Limitation of up to only 32GB? Makes you wonder if these Idiot System Devs ever found out they do make 64GB+ Storage Options for both eMMC and MicroSD.......with the latter being up to 512GB and now even 1TB

    I want a handheld gaming system with a tablet sized screen, like a 8 or10" screen, with controllers that can detach like the Switch.

    I don't see the buzz about a square screen personally. I think there will be a review on the site within a few weeks though if you are interested.

    I've put down the money on the Odin 2 Mini since I just love that Vita form factor. Loved the power of the Odin 2 but the size always put me off, this one seems exactly what I've been wanting.
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    I don't care about the square screen it's just nice to hold something you don't have to stretch your arms a foots length
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    All these things expecting to be super huge is overrated just run a type c cable to your TV if you want a big display or in my case screen mirror it
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    On the go tho I meant, I use my 10" tablet and a Bluetooth controller for retro gaming while sitting on my porch or on long car rides sometimes. Easier on my eyes than the Switch screen.
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    My point is we already have enough shit with big displays having something pocketable with up to ps2 would be fine on the go
