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?

    Take it the other way. Bigger form factor, better display and processor, make it play a wider platform of games… oh wait that’s my Steam Deck.

    Switch Nano. Size of a pack of gum and I will hang it from my keychain.

      NGL, the Gameboy Micro is an absolutely amazing piece of hardware.

        I loved my micro. I especially liked all the faceplates you could swap out and customize with.

      Man, even though you didn’t actually mention it, reading your comment and seeing all the words so close together, I really want a Steam Deck Nano.

      Remote play first device with a focus on portability and first party support from Valve. I feel like the market for that is probably too small for Valve to bother, but I’m so down for that.

        I think the steam deck is as nano as I’d ever want it. It’s perfect for my (rather large) paws and it’s still light and portable. My Switch makes my hands hurt after an hour so I mostly use it docked.
