And if the next console Nintendo was not the successor of the Nintendo Switch but rather that of the Nintendo 3DS ? For several hours, the internet has been in an uproar following the discovery of‘a patent filed by Nintendo on November 11, 2022 (and published on October 26). It is a portable console with two screens, like the Nintendo DS and some Nintendo 3DS. However, the two screens are detachable so that two players can each play with one screen. Furthermore, when the screens are linked and the console is closed, the top screen, which is touch sensitive, is visible allowing the player to use it as a console with a single screen.
So will this patent ever come to fruition? The next Nintendo Switch might it have two screens? In any case, this is the first time that such a possibility has been mentioned. However, it should be noted that Nintendolike others, files a huge number of patents each year, if only to protect his ideas (see here) and in practice, many patents never materialize.
While waiting for other information, you can read the details of the patent below (and consult it ICI) and tell us what you think in the comments.
An electronic apparatus includes a first device and a second device. The first device and the second device are removably attachable to each other. The first device has a first surface, and a first display device and a first connection unit that are positioned on the first surface. The second device has a second surface, a second display device that is positioned on the second surface, a second rear surface that is on the side opposite the second surface, and a second connection unit that is positioned on the second surface back. The second connection unit may be connected to the first connection unit in a first orientation or in a second orientation that is the reverse of the first orientation. In a first connection state in which the second connection part has been connected to the first connection part in the first orientation, the second rear surface is positioned so as to cover the first display device. In a second connection state in which the second connection part has been connected to the first connection part in the second orientation, the second rear surface is positioned so as not to cover the first display device.
