    Interesting. On one hand the 2DS wasn’t terribly well received. On the other hand, making the screen full size instead of unnecessarily adding chrome to divide them might be exactly the design change the 2DS needed.

      Some games were programmed with the hinge gap in mind, so squeezing both screens together can lead to unexpected timing when objects can move between both screens, for example Metroid Prime Pinball.

    If you want 3DS, DS and WiiU emulation, (and You have the money) go get a Ayaneo Flip DS. It can emulate everything including Switch Games.

        Damn you are right… Man I hope my Flip DS will have a long Life, it’s one of my favorite pc gaming handhelds.

    While I’m all for emulation getting all the love it can, is there really much demand for such a screen orientation? Are there any other systems that could take advantage of this kind of layout and not just have giant black bars?

    I can only think of the DS, 3DS and maybe WiiU…

    Happy to be proven wrong, though!

      There’s plenty of arcade games with vertical screens although usually that’s 3:4 screen aspect ratio.

        Ah, yes - good point! I completely forgot about all of those arcade cabinets with the sideways mounted screens, loads more titles and a bunch of unlocked memories 🤣
