A Nintendo Switch Mini or Nintendo Switch Pocket handheld console could be in the pipeline according to a popular X-based leaker. It seems the source has dug up numerous patents that point to a miniature Switch, although patents often lead to nothing more than the public description of an idea. However, this hasn’t stopped the leaker predicting a price and release date for a Switch Mini.
I think this’d be a neat companion to Switch 2. A new gen new 3ds + Wii U analogue.
Vs Nintendo having just Switch and Switch Lite. As neat as the Switch Lite is, it isn’t in the same niche as Ninty’s earlier handhelds and I feel like there is a market for it. Though, it might be that the folks in that demo are probably just fine with their phones now.
Switch lite wont replace the ds because it cant be pocketed reasonably.
And yeah my phone can play the same games as the ds. But physical buttons still beat any touchscreen control I’ve seen.
