    Personally, I think the current Switch screen is as small as it can comfortably be. It’s often hard, even for kids, to see what’s going on.

      Yes, that’s the thing.

      The 3DS and before had a smaller screens, but games were designed for that screen size.

      The Switch is basically to play games designed to run on a TV so there is a limit how small you can go before it becomes hard to play.

      The font type size on Three Houses and the Zelda intros are ridiculously small. Meant for TVs, not handhelds

    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.

    The Lite already fits in my pocket quite well? What are they planning to do here?

      You must have a huge pocket. The Lite is smaller than most but I wouldn’t say it’s that pocketable compared to something like a DS or PSP. I can see value for a Switch that’s as small as a mobile phone.

        Adult American Male, 29x32 Slim Straights, multiple brands. It fits perfectly in my front pockets and sticks out of my rear pockets. I can’t speak for people with smaller pants, though.

        Exactly my thoughts. I keep my Vita in my purse as an every day carry, and I often think about the Switch being too large and heavy to be a proper portable game system.

    I have a launch switch that I haven’t turned on in about 2 years. There just isn’t enough on the Switch to keep me interested.

      TotK? Mario Wonder (freaking awesome by the way)? Metroid Prime remaster? Metroid Dread? Pikmin 4? Super Mario RPG remaster? Advance Wars?

        To play devil’s advocate you’ve mentioned 3 remasters. I can see why you’d possibly only want one game on the list depending on your tastes but it’s hard to say there’s nothing on but at that point it’s hard to argue it’d the switches fault and the Switch 2 isn’t likely to change your opinion

          Not as if I took the time to really dig deep, that’s all fairly recent releases and all of them first party.

      That’s nuts, I’ve been blown away by the Switch library and probably own over 500 titles.
