I know console people won't like this but I wish the went back to two consoles, I hate how big the switch is, all my life I bought nintendo portables only cause they were small and I could bring in my pocket...
- kemayo 3y agoI think that in this day and age that niche is pretty much filled by smartphones, though. Not perfectly, but enough that it's hard to compete. The Switch does well because it's a bunch of things that your smartphone isn't -- bigger screen, better controls, and also a home console that connects to your TV -- while still being small enough that it's easy to slip into a bag you might be carrying.
- ruune 3y agoAnd smartphones aren't getting smaller either
- makeitdouble 3y agoI think it's more that there's mo market left for that. Emulation is a thing now, and small third party hardware makers are filling the niche. And at the other end phones have more power than even the Switch has. That's why the SteamDeck or ROG Ally are on the bigger side. Betting against the smartphone is a losing bet.
- cauthon 3y agoIs a switch lite that much larger than a GBA or DS?
- pupppet 3y agoMe too but with how popular the Switch is I guess we’re the minority. I never play my Switch undocked and all I can think about is how much beefier the internals could have been if they hadn’t made it a dual use device.
- theshrike79 3y agoIf you want something pocketable, look into what Anbernic and Retroid are doing. They have, for example, OG Gameboy sized consoles with enough power to emulate everyting up to about PS1/Gamecube: https://anbernic.com/products/rg35xx https://anbernic.com/products/rg35xx
