Do you think Switch 2 will have dual screens like a 3DS?
I think that would be cool.

No way Nintendo let Switch become a copycat of DS.

DS is stand for Dual Screen, that means a DS must have 2 screens.

Meanwhile, Switch means you can play video games by using built-in screen or a dedicated monitor. If a Nintendo Switch had dual screen, that means you might need 2 monitors to play video games on bigger screens. That's too hard to archive, and maybe too expensive for younger players.

It won't have two screens

I'm hoping it will be a more powerful Switch that's backwards compatible, and doesn't contain any unnecessary gimmicks.
Bigger screen would be great

Unless it's like the Wii U gamepad somehow. If you can put the dual screens of the handheld together. I doubt Nintendo would do something like that though.

Roflmao, and eliminate their entire consumer base that wants to game on a TV for a silly handheld gimmick? No way Nintendo does that.

There was already a patent released for a dual screen on the Switch 2. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xBGx96RNNhY
It would make a lot of sense if they wanted to bring over Nintendo DS or 3DS games to Nintendo Switch online.

Damn, imagine being able to play DS games on Switch 2.
Dual Screen allowed for some unique games.

It would make virtually no sense since you could fit both DS screen inside a single switch screen space, having two physical screens is unnecessary.
