So that rumor about Nintendo Switch 2 using Switch 1 as a second screen for NDS/3DS games may be on point... Remember this thread from some months ago?
I tested the GameShare function of the Switch 2 using wife's Switch Lite on Fast Fusion and the latency was amazing, DF reported some lag or stuttering but I never experienced any.
Here's a X post doing a latency test using Super Mario Odyssey:
GameShare is actually using Wii U streaming tech, so only the Nintendo Switch 2 console sharing the game is the one running it and the other consoles are just receiving audio/video input wirelessly. Basically its original purpose was using it for double screen gameplay.
IDK if Nintendo will release a second screen for using on those games or if they will allow using one of those consoles as second screen, but it's funny that the most stupid and improbable rumor might end up being true lol.
What do you think fellow GAFfers? I think it would be amazing if they gave us choices: Get a screen accessory or use an actual Switch 1/2 as a second screen.
In a new video shared today, eXstas1s, who proved to be an overall reliable insider in the past, revealed that, according to their sources, the C button will be used, among other things, to connect the Nintendo Switch 2 to an original Switch console to use it as a controller or an additional screen, essentially turning the previous generation console into something akin to the Wii U GamePad.
