Homemade Nintendo Switch TV Displays Seem To Be All The Rage, And We're Not Complaining

Good god no, I like my gadgets but sorry, that is awful.

Now for a dock...

This is cool and all, but this sensationalist reporting is ridiculous. A second person doing this means these things are "all the rage"? This is now a trend?

Whatever it takes to get those clicks I guess.

I love how he is smart enough to build that thing but:

• can't photoshop that Mario Bros. screenshot for his life,
• doesn't know Mario Bros. is a 4:3 game,
• doesn't know Bowser isn't just walking around in nature.

This is just stupid. Those Joy-cons should be stereo speakers.

To each their own, is all I can say to not sound impolite so I'll leave it at that.

@RazumikhinPG It's MarioMaker.

@sanderev would be cool if you could play it with a NES pad on the Wii U

Good job but I would handled the controller curves differently.

LOL
Nintendo Switch X-tra Giant.

@RazumikhinPG NES Classic controllers work as Wiimote extensions. And there are 3rd party controllers that look like NES controllers that work with WiiU (and Switch, etc).

He’s done a good job. Looks great

@Jaxad0127 so where's the Wii U and why is he playing on the Wii U if he just built a Switch TV set thingy?

It would be so cool if he used a touch screen TV and the switch dock could take touch input over HDMI or even a separate usb. Then you could have a huge mario maker canvas!!

Needs to use a cheaper TV with a bigger bezel.
I would buy another switch if the only change was less bezel. Make the screen bigger just by that amount.

If I were to do something like this, the JoyCons would have to be practical in some way. Like they can open up to reveal space for game/DVD cases, or have speakers in them or something.

@nintendolie

control stick places should be speakers.

Looks awesome!!!

@RazumikhinPG In one of the cabinets? I'm just pointing out that you CAN play MM with a NES controller.

@Jaxad0127 doesn't change the fact that thumbnail is totally fabricated lol

@RazumikhinPG are you saying he's good at woodworking so he should also be good at Photoshop?

@Panopticon he definitely seems to be OK editing videos and making 3D models of his projects. Could have asked a friend for photoshop help or, I don't know, just take a photo of an actual game on the TV instead of a badly photoshopped screenshot.

Why are you guys ALWAYS in a bad mood? Trying to find a imperfection all the time. Geez.
This is a really good job, I would love to have one of those in my house.

@Varnen Agreed. I wouldn't put this in my living room, but if I had a man cave, I would totally love this.

Cool. One day someone will make giant working Joy-Cons for a TV or monitor. That will be the day my brother adopts a monkey as a son.

File this one under "Cringe"

If only the shelf doors slid up when you pressed a button or down on them!

Not sure what all the fuss is about

@N64-ROX Seems legit.

the real question is would your "wife" fancy one of those?

@StevenG same

@Lordplops How is it awful?

@Heavyarms55 Eh did you watch the Video? He actually did...

Am I the only one who likes tabletop mode because it makes your Switch resemble a mini flatscreen television?

@TheLightningYu I did not. I was at work, I push my luck reading this site at work. lol

@Deltath It's an opinion, that's generally how these things work...

@Lordplops That's generally how what works? What kind of preposterous response is that? No one ever said it wasn't an opinion. Obviously it's an opinion. My question was "HOW is it awful?" This means I'm asking in what manner do you find it awful. You said "Good good no" and called it awful. It's a pretty intense reaction for what is just a TV with a piece of wood on it. It seems too basic and small of a thing to have such an intense reaction and I was curious what elements about it were so wildly displeasing.

But this is the internet and everyone is insanely defensive and take everything question as a threat to their opinion.

I just wanted to understand your opinion. Is that such a terrible thing to ask?

I wish we saw some gameplay as well and not juist the build-up... sigh

@Deltath Zzzzzzz....

@Lordplops Typical.

@Deltath I'm sorry I don't have time to give you a detailed breakdown as to why I find this offensive to my sensibilities, but to be brief it's that age old saying: To each his own. Now away with you, I'm sure there's someone else on this site you can inflict a wall of text upon, non?

@Lordplops In the time you took to come up with your needlessly rude, witless response, you could have just answered my very simple and polite question.

@Deltath equally, in the time it took you to formulate your preposterous response - clearly flagging up many, many issues - you could just have gotten on with your life, as I will do now

@Lordplops Again you hurl another witless insult that only further implicates you as a petty, rude, thoughtless individual. And whatever meaning you wish to convey in your sloppy attempt to insult me is completely lost in that you're doing the very thing you're trying to accuse me of. You don't have a leg to stand on. You're rude, small, petty and basic.

@Deltath you really aren't doing yourself any favours with your constant ad hominens, just let it go, have a cup of tea and let a bit of light into your life You won't though, will you? You will have to respond to this, because that's the kind of person you are. Go on, prove me wrong...
