Nintendo Files Patent for Dual-Screen Detachable Gaming Device

Japan
Each half of the device has its own screen and controls when split.
Nintendo has filed a patent for a dual-screen gaming device that can be split into two separate units.
The device, as per the patent images, has a hinge in the middle, allowing it to fold in half.
The patent was discovered by a user on a gaming forum.

Nintendo, the renowned video game company, has recently filed a patent application for a new gaming device. The patent reveals a dual-screen system that can be split into two separate units. The patent application was first discovered by a user on a gaming forum, who shared the details online. The patent images show a device with two screens that can be detached from each other, potentially offering a new way to play games. The device appears to have a hinge in the middle, allowing it to fold in half. When the device is split, each half has its own screen and controls. However, it's important to note that companies often file patents for devices that never make it to market. Therefore, while this patent suggests that Nintendo is exploring new gaming technologies, it does not necessarily mean that this device will be released.
