And the dock Features a miniature steering wheel and shift lever completely functional, with which we can take control of the game and drive happily while we review the image on the console screen. The gear lever acts as an accelerator pedal., while the steering wheel acts as an analog controller. In addition, it has included LED lights with which to imitate the revolution indicators, so the appearance is quite striking.
The result, as you can see, is quite curious, and its creator plans to put it on sale soon when the design is more perfected, and it still looks more like a prototype than a final product.
The Nintendo Switch was this
When the Nintendo Switch was presented for the first time, many fantasized about countless accessories with which to turn the console into many things. However, Nintendo, strange as it may seem, has been much more traditional than expected, and after the launch of Nintendo Labo it has not surprised with any other piece of hardware or accessory with which to break the established.
Designs like this mini arcade cabin are precisely what make the Nintendo Switch a unique console, so we'll see if with the Nintendo Switch 2 the manufacturer dares to further explore the possibilities of the format.
