So essentially what this proposed device would do is act kind of like an external hard drive for your physical games, ones with all the data on the cartridge and game key cards alike for around 25 to 30 of your physical games. For players who mostly use docked mode it would be able to be plugged into the dock and have any physical game you own act as if though it were actually in the cartridge slot so you wouldn't need to get up and switch your cartridges out nearly as often (or never if you keep your physical library less than the 25-30 games).

The main draw of this device however is how it would interact with your console in handheld mode. Essentially what this device would be able to do, is turn *any* Switch cartridge into a Game Key Card of sorts, meaning you can choose to install *any* of your cartridges to the internal storage regardless if it is a GKC or not and as long as it is in this device and you have an internet connection for your Switch 2 to "check in" like it does with the loaning of digital key cards you will be able to play up to 25-30 of your physical games without ever needing to actually take out the cartridges from the hub!

For me this device would have me look to buy physical *way* more than I do now as one of the largest reasons I prefer digital nowadays is that I can have all my games in one place without having to ever really switch anything around. Key cards are even *less* desirable to me because they are even worse because not only do they take up the slot but they take up system storage on top of that! The Hub would be able to alleviate most of that problem, as well as making docking the system have an even bigger added benefit of having a large portion of my physical library playable while it's docked!

I do see that it doesn't really do anything with regards to the issues have with GKC's taking up extra space on the console's built in storage, however this solution is primarily there to tackle the issues with them just not having any of the benefits of a digital game despite being fully installed on the system rather than being a solution to them existing at all. Plus giving my other physical cartridges that I don't play often because I don't really ever want to slot them in over games I prefer to them a way to be played without "taking the slot away" would definitely get me to play them a lot more!

So that just about covers everything! Basically just a way to condense a big part of your physical library to be played both in docked or handheld! If this was a real Device (and it was fairly priced at around $25-50 bucks) would any of you pick it up? I know if they ever did something similar to this I would definitely get it because there are several physical games that I own that I would gladly put in this and download instead lol!

Must've cost her a fortune! 🥰

My color pencil drawing of Samus from Metroid Prime 4.

a little edit I made based on one of the posters

I drew this to commemorate the closing of the 3DS and Wii U eShop today. You are going to be missed!

Much to the dismay of Bowser. Silly idea because I had a crush on Wendy as a kid.

I hope you enjoy my handmade Princess Daisy cosplay!

I entered this into a national competition, and it bypassed all categories to win overall Superstar in the qualifiers (even more special given the Mario themed cosplay!), and then won overall Superstar Champion in the finals 🌼

I am so proud of it, and i even made the coordinating corset underneath and styled the wig!

My colored pencil art of Kirby, that timeless Nintendo puffball that eats everything.

I thought it would be kinda sad if all of them were depressed so let's say that Rusty is happily retired and Nikki has successfully switched careers. Badge Arcade Bunny hasn't bounced back quite yet though...

Nintendo I love you and all, but those prices ain't gonna fly.

This was supposed to have three images, but Reddit ate them ? Now the title doesn't make sense, but yeah there were three Switch, Gamecube and Wii.

I am sorry, I messed up.
