Unofficial Nintendo Switch Travel Dock Created

Nintendo tried to cater for every gaming scenario with the Switch by including three play modes: docked, tabletop, and portable. For the nigh office, they practise cover all situations, simply there's one glaring omission. What if yous want to take your Switch round to a friend'southward house and play on their big screen TV?

The option to have a second dock would solve that problem, just Nintendo doesn't sell them yet. You could take your existing Switch dock with you lot, but information technology'southward far from portable. So a Reddit user by the name of Jolimon decided to brand his own Switch travel dock.

Here'south the Switch tablet sitting on top of the travel dock to give you some idea of its size:

What Jolimon did was to take all the components included in the official Switch dock and squeeze them into a smaller unit which can easily be slipped into a pocket. The travel dock hooks upward to a TV only like the official 1, only the Switch sits on top. That may really be preferable to Switch owners concerned most screen scratching.

According to Kotaku, Jolimon is going to release the relevant information to allow anyone to 3D print their own Switch travel dock, but he's also planning to sell them. The issue there is getting hold of the necessary components without dismantling official docks. The bigger issue, nevertheless, is how Nintendo will react to an unofficial accessory such as this.

The correct response from Nintendo would be to release an official travel dock. Information technology may be the case that a 3rd-party manufacturer such as Hori is already working on one, though. Any the state of affairs, it shouldn't be long before Nintendo reacts i way or some other.
