  1. Let’s just stream gameplay videos to your device. Soon you will just have “interactive streaming experiences” instead of physical games.

  2. I’m in agreement that it’s either a device to stream to the TV (as a second screen) or a way to let other people jump in to a game via their own ‘switch’ that is essentially just a screen and a controller (wifi linked to the main one). This second screen could also just attach to the main switch to make it like a DS.

  3. 24GHz is an odd band, and it almost guarantees that this is a motion tracking radar. What are they using it for though?

    It’s box-shaped, and doesn’t have a battery, so it must be stationary. Is it a Kinect-alike? Something like this can have enough resolution to track limb motion, but probably not finger motion.

  4. As someone who never bought a Wii U but thought the gimmick was cool af and also loved my DS/3DS having two screens, I hope to God that’s where Nintendo is trying to go again

    When you editorialize the title, you introduced an error. And it’s a violation of the Titles rules.
