I honestly want a smaller Switch. I would 100% buy another Switch if I could easily stuff it in my purse like I do my Vita. I hate the trend of larger portables, they hurt my hands and make my arms tired. They’re heavier and bigger than I have any use for.

A smaller switch would be a terrible idea. They’re already pushing so hard to have mainstream games on the console, and those games have UI elements that can only get so small before they’re useless. You’d have to develop your UI around being used on these tiny screens, which either takes extra work or leaves big screen users screwed.
A smaller screen switch would basically be relegated to phone games, and all other games would lose a lot of detail to size

Then get a lite? I don’t understand the problem, there already is a smaller option.

I still think it the Lite as too big. Maybe you haven’t held a Vita / PSP, or if you have, recently? It’s significantly bigger.

I think it’ll work if they just make the screen slightly smaller than the Lite, like maybe just quarter to half an inch. Use an OLED screen for smaller bezels and then put the buttons below the screen and make it foldable like a GBA. It’ll reduce the footprint a lot.

Plus, the switch is still underpowered by like 8 years now.
Please just give us a Switch Pro or something so that I can play TOTK at more than what feels like 12fps and 720p.

Overclocking a modded switch really showed me what v2 / oled models are capable of. Any switch past the original is being sandbagged hard so they perform the same as v1.
With only a mild memory oc you can get 30+ fps in totk even when using ultrahand in kariko village.

They could have easily built a dock that had more power to have better graphics on the tv.
