The Nintendo Switch seems to be selling pretty darn well, and yet, there are some people who still seem unable to get their hands on one. Maybe that’s why a guy named Tim Lindquist decided to build one of his own, although he took a decidedly different approach to his version of the console, one that will please retro game enthusiasts ( via Gizmodo).
The device appears to be thicker than an actual Switch, but it was also built by one guy with everyday, non-specialized parts. Inside the shell, Lindquist stuffed an LCD screen, a 10,000 mAh rechargeable battery (which more than doubles the Switch’s battery capacity), a cooling system, a Broadcom BCM287 processor, and a motherboard that includes two USB ports and HDMI output to connect the Nintimdo to a larger screen. It’s an impressive build, and in lieu of an actual Switch, this thing looks pretty darn fun.
Is this the coolest Raspberry-Pi based project or coolest homemade video game console? Let us know what you think in the comments below!
