Someone made a playable Nintendo Switch the size of a TV

Update your settings The device you see is basically a shell for a 4K LED TV and the system itself. 3D printed buttons and joysticks on the front connect to separate Joy–the inconvenients through a series of servos. When you press any of the buttons on the face of the switch, it activates the corresponding input on the relevant Joy-con. The beauty of the design is that Pick didn’t need to open the controllers for everything to work. Additionally, it is possible to remove the 3D printed brackets that hold them in place, so there was no need to sacrifice Switch components.

At this point, you’re probably wondering why Pick went out of his way to turn a portable system like the Nintendo Switch into something so impractical. I mean watch him try to play Mario Kart 8 Deluxe. To open the video, Picks says his goal was to create a Switch that was “harder to lose,” but he ends the clip by donating its creation to St. Jude Children’s Hospital. I don’t know about you, but the kid in me loves this idea and it’s easy to imagine that it brings a lot of joy and happiness to someone when they need it most.
