![]() ![]() Going out of your way to make the bottom portion heavier to compensate also isn't great. It would also probably be pretty bad for the hinge. A clamshell where the weight is unevenly distributed to the top half would feel awkward - unwieldy and heavier than it actually is. The top portion would have to contain - at a minimum - the SoC and associated cooling assembly, radio communication with the bottom, as well as some battery (as it would otherwise turn off as soon as you detached it from the bottom portion, killing the instant switching of the Switch). The main and obvious problem with the idea: Weight distribution. You could also just play with the top-screen detached in table-top mode, I guess. The bottom half now becomes a controller similar to the WiiU gamepad. The footprint when folded is significantly smaller than the Switch with joycons attached (although thicker than the Switch, obviously), closer to larger modern smartphones, and coupled with the innate protection of the clamshell form factor, it has much greater overall portability.įor couch play you simply remove the top screen and insert it into the dock. A clamshell, with a large-ish (say 6-inch) top screen and a smaller, touch-sensitive screen on the bottom. My idea has always been similar to the Microsoft Surface Book. Besides the utility already proven with the (3)DS and possibly the Wii U, I think even Core Gamers(tm) can see that we're hitting the limitations of the traditional controller when playing a game like Tears of the Kingdom. Pleased to see lots of discussion around second screens.
