Nintendo fan proposes dual‑screen add‑on for Switch 2 to play DS games

A concept posted on X shows a clamshell second screen that would attach to the Switch 2 via USB‑C to recreate DS‑style dual displays; Nintendo has not announced such an accessory or confirmed DS emulation.

A fan concept has drawn attention by showing how DS games might be played on the new Switch 2. The idea aims to recreate the DS dual‑screen layout using an add‑on screen that folds over the top of the Switch 2. The design is not official and comes from a user post on X. Nintendo has not confirmed any plans for a DS accessory or emulation features. Key points: - The concept, posted by PAABLOO64 on X, shows a clamshell second screen that folds over the Switch 2 and connects through the USB‑C port. - The mockup envisions two large 7.9‑inch displays, with the Switch 2 touchscreen remaining on the bottom for touch input. - The Switch 2’s built‑in microphone is noted as helpful for emulating some DS functions that used breath input. - The design is a fan concept and not an official Nintendo product; social responses to the idea have been largely positive and speculative. - Nintendo is set to release a working replica VirtualBoy headset accessory for Switch 2 later this year, sold at £66.99 and playable through the Nintendo Classics app. - Rumours mentioned in the report point to a possible Nintendo Direct in February where new Switch 2 developments might be announced. Summary: The concept highlights ongoing fan interest in playing DS titles on the Switch 2 and suggests one possible hardware approach to recreate dual screens. Nintendo has not announced DS emulation or a dual‑screen add‑on, and reports reference a rumored Nintendo Direct in February where further news could appear.
