  I pre-ordered one when it was first announced, then regretted it when Nintendo started scaring off emulators. Then I eventually got it and and learned about Game Native. Literally playing steam games on it. I have no idea when phone chips started getting this fast, its literally one notch below steam deck performance.

      Monster hunter stories 3, grounded 2, and I started up elden ring to check out the new patch. Also balatro, slay the spire 2 and silksong, but those 3 you can run on a potato.

  If you’re playing 3DS games then there’s no point as emulation inherently adds input latency. The only benefits are if you’re not playing any games that hurt from that and you’d like to have better visuals. I got mine because I’m emulating other platforms too and running Windows games via GameNative was a game changer.

    Is the second screen useful for anything, outside of DS and 3DS?

      It’s nice to have some guides pinned and to keep notes. Some games have had second screen mods but a number of them are vibe coded and some of these devs broke open source licenses doing it so I’m steering clear of those.

      Wii U is another platform that benefits from it as the bottom screen acts as the Wii U tablet controller though I’ve not yet tried it out personally.

        As a Wii U owner there are very few games that actually utilize the bottom screen for more than just displaying a minimap or your inventory

      I use it just as a regular second screen - guides, videos.

      If you don’t use it for anything, launchers like Cocoon it will display the game logo with status bar with info like battery, time, notifications, etc. The launcher decreases sets the brightness to minimum when you don’t use it, but the status bar is still visible this way. You can see this in action on my post photo.
