Maybe if you wanted to swap out games while away, you wouldn't need to wait to get home and dock. The dock could have an internet connection and you'd be able to just transfer the data over the internet. "Swapping" the data on the handheld with the dock on the go.
It'd take some download time, but it could be possible I think.
Likely? Maybe not, but I wouldn't mind it as a potential solution to storage constraints on a handheld system.
So, #Nintendo announced to not announce a #Switch2 in June, but did announce to announce a new Switch 2 before April 2025. Is that a Schroedinger's announcement?
It looks like Nintendo's followup to the Switch may finally be on its way. Multiple video game publications are reporting that the console is being demoed to select third-party developers, with a rumored late 2024 launch. The original Switch came out in 2017 and continues to sell millions of units a year. @arstechnica has the details.
I'm making a prediction now, so that I can point to this and flaunt my superior intellect if it happens (or just delete it if it doesn't).
Prediction: Nintendo Switch 2, or whatever it's gonna be called, will be a home console only, no portable mode, but they will release an app so that you can stream games from it to your original Switch.
Mark my words. Unless I'm wrong. In which case, forget my words.
