There was a time when you'd be branded a fool for ever thinking that Nintendo and Sega would team up to release content on the same system, but these days you can find Sonic splattered all over the Switch's eShop almost as much as Mario himself. Taking this newfound partnership further - and beyond the realms of reality - this custom paint job fuses the two companies together in hardware form. And we really, really like it.
Customised by the folks over at Extreme Consoles - a UK-based company which specialises in airbrushing and hand-painted designs for controllers and consoles - this design is inspired by the idea of a Dreamcast 2. While Sega's Dreamcast has never seen a successor - and likely never will - this will no doubt have fans of the company screaming for a new system once again.

The design was actually created for MAZ Gaming UK - who says that very detailed specifications for the design were handed over to the team. As you can imagine, seeing the console in the flesh brought nothing but happiness, and you can see more about that story (and the console itself) in the video below
Would you like a Switch like this? Would you make it look like a different console, perhaps? Tell us below with a comment.

Shouldn't this have been a WiiU skin?
This looks awesome, Nintendo should really make A white switch.
Kinda jelly...love me some Dreamcast
LOL
Dreamcast 2
Oooh....!!
White color !
Great work. I like the finish
I like as long as the left joycon can charge like the original and rumble.
I prefer my black Switch over a white Switch but this is still well done!
On a side note, I can't believe the VMU never really caught on. I understand that now memory cards are not really needed but I'm surprised something like this wasn't used up until hard drives we're used in consoles. I remember using the screen to pick plays in NFL 2K so that the other player couldn't see.
Successor. A predecessor would be Sega Saturn.
And it looks pretty nice.

That is very cool looking. I like what they did with the joycon joystick attachrment, really loooks like a Dreamcast joystick.
Wii U skin would be more appropriate. I think that the original Switch dock is the ugliest thing ever but the original Switch itself is not bad. The white colour is very nice on the Switch though.
@AgEnt721 It looks good, better than any special edition Nintendo could have made.
@Razzy
Thought the same. Sometimes the author should read what he/she wrote before posting.
And yes, a white switch would be so nice.
Just to be 'american': the swirl looks wrong in blue. Bring on the orangey-red version! 😂
@NEStalgia Dreamcast is a more rare system, thus making it more valuable, thus increasing the value of Switch because of the harder to find Dreamcasts!
Just remember there are 50% MORE Wii U's sold than Dreamcasts, not to mention roughly 300% more Wii U games sold than Dreamcast games (approximately 33 million Dreamcast games were sold total compared to nearly 102 million Wii U games). So, by using a Dreamcast, they're upping the collectible value, because the more rare item is higher priced due to the rareness!
I want a Dreamcast 2
@pika677 I meant it the other way around. The Dreamcast 2 skin really belonged on the WiiU
@NEStalgia Nah, the OG Xbox is the Dreamcast 2.
All the ports for Dreamcast now.
Thanks.
Someone needs to make a Dreamcast 2 Steam Machine (a Steamcast?). With the way Sega are releasing most of their games on PC these days, it would make sense.
This is amazing and I'll take 15, please.
Fitting considering that we're probably going to get the Dreamcast Sonic games before 3&K on the Switch.
That is so freaking awesome. Dreamcast deserved a better end than what it got.
@BlueOcean
Big time. If we get a Dreamcast Collection, they should reproduce this as a limited run with Dreamcast packaging for the cartridge packaging.
Absolutely gorgeous... and much like the Dreamcast, the Switch's internet was late & a bit of a mess.
I love both though! Phantasy Star Online port NOW!!!!
WANT!

#before it's time RIP DREANCAST
The back is fine, even though Dreamcast 2 makes no sense. Front is fine except for the bizarre and off-putting circular lines cutting through the Joy-Cons. I get what they were going for but it aesthetically, it doesn't work.
The grip is pretty shoddy, esp. considering the faux-VMU design isn't even centered properly.
@KingdomHeartsFan My dream Switch is white with deep blue joycons... In other words, I want an Starfox arwing-inspired version of the Switch. Lol
In that alternate timeline where Nintendo went under and Mario joined Sonic games instead.
This makes me want a white Switch.
@Folkloner I think that Dreamcast 2 does not make any sense either because Switch is a console which game library is based on Wii U, indie and multiplatform ports. Wii U was more "similar" to Dreamcast.
Nice.
