By most accounts, the Nintendo Switch 2 has had an extremely successful first six months on the market. So far, the successor to the original Nintendo Switch has sold over 10 million units and counting, overtaking the Dreamcast and likely the Wii U by this point.
It launched with Mario Kart World, then later dropped Donkey Kong Bananza as Switch 2 exclusive titles, with more to come in 2026 from first- and third-party alike.
That said, there’s always room for improvement. We still have yet to see what the next 3D Mario title is, the GameCube library for Nintendo Classics is still a little lacking, and Pokemon really should start embracing voice acting.
One fan, however, was hoping to see the rumored second screen Nintendo DS attachment get released, and if it didn’t, well, they’d eat not one but two Switch 2 consoles as punishment.
Well, it didn’t release, and Switch 2 fans are now wondering if u/SteakAndIron will get their best fork and knife out and go to town on the hybrid handheld/console.
Of course, no one is really expecting the person to eat a Switch, but if they had their way, then this is how they’d prepare Nintendo’s finest delicacy:
“Sous Vide for four hours at 140F then seared in a cast iron skillet. Salt and pepper. Blue cheese crumbles. Perfection.”
More than seeing someone go to town on a Switch, what we’d really like to see is that rumored second screen apparatus that could change how we experience Nintendo DS and 3DS games moving forward.
If This Patent Were To Come True, Then Take All Of My Money
Back in October, someone found a new patent that would suggest that Nintendo is actively attempting to find a way to bring the DS and its laundry list of beloved titles forward to modern hardware.
In this scenario, there would potentially be three options. However, the most enticing option is the one that makes use of two screens, which could look like this:
Obviously, if something like that were to release, there’s no doubt it’d cost a pretty penny, as is the case with most Nintendo first-party things, but if it meant the difference between being unable to play classic Pokemon or Dragon Quest titles, then take all my money.
Also, for that user’s sake, let’s hope it does release before they get themselves into any more trouble.

Skyrim On Switch 2 Should Have Been A Home Run, But It’s An Embarrassment
An RPG from 2011 shouldn’t run at 30 frames per second on a console from 2025.
