Hand-held and Portable Gaming Switch Interfaces

There are only a very small number of switch adapted hand-held games machines. On top of this, it seems unlikely that Nintendo's touch screen DS will be ever be made switch accessible due to the technical difficulties involved.

This all said, many standard games consoles can be made portable with the addition of a small LCD screen and power adapter. Of note, there are quite a few one-thumb games available for mobile phones that may be of interest.

Click on the images below for more details on each controller and where you can purchase these from. Please feel free to e-mail for help on anything that is unclear, or to share new information.
