I think we all know that patents don’t usually mean anything and aren’t an indicator of a product actually coming to launch, but what do you all think of a potentially smaller, more portable Switch?

I just want to find out what this Super Switch that’s ostensibly coming out next year is all about

I would love a portable that fits in my pocket again. I know people argue the Switch is pocketable, but it comes with a bunch of compromises. Sure it can fit in a pocket, but it isn’t comfortable. Plus the screen is exposed makes me hesitant to put it in there (Give us GameBoy Micro style faceplates, and I’m fine with the exposed screen). The worst part though is the vents on the system. Those are begging to eat lint up. A potential Switch Micro would need to address all of these. It might need a significantly more power efficient chip, which would reduce batter size constraints, and allow it to run cooler, removing the need for a fan and vents.

An official Nintendo version of the Retroid pocket flip would actually be pretty sweet.

A pocket sized Switch, supporting the current library of Switch games, would be a must buy, for me. Especially if it folds to protect it’s own screen.

If it comes out and doesn’t leverage my existing game library, I’ll probably just keep buying games for my HyoerMegaTech Pocket, instead.
