With the Switch and it's future successor being Nintendo's only Gaming platform, it's still fun to speculate if there would be room for a second offering.
Let present the Game & Watch 2.0 and fantasize a bit what that might look like.
- Entry level $99 handheld only, including 1 game (e.g. Tetris remastered);
- Digital games download only;
- Includes Watch functionality with clock and timers in a playful manner;
- D-pad, 4-6 buttons;
- About the size of a phone;
- Multiple color options;
- Can connect for multiplayer up to 4 devices;
- Designed for smaller games, let's say max 200MB (e.g. GBA games max 36MB, SNES 48MB);
- Storage is 4Gig;
- Games sold at $20 for Nintendo first party;
- Library consist of some ported/remastered classics of NES/SNES/GBA and new smaller titles with a max $2 million development budget;
- Typically puzzle/card games and/or shorter experiences;
- Easy platform to develop for Indy studio's
Also Game & Watch 2.0 games can be played on Switch/Switch2, possibly with new NSO tier.
Would you buy a Game & Watch 2.0? What would your concept of such an entry level console be?
