Nintendo Switch Lite: a smaller, cheaper Switch built for handheld play

I'll give you the laptop point but as for mobile, if you truly think that offers a comparable gaming experience you're not a gamer, and certainly not the type of gamer being marketed to here.

Nintendo holds some of the most valuable gaming IP in the world and their games sell consoles. It doesn't matter what crazy format they make, people will buy it if they make a smash and Mario game on it.

I unfortunately don't see them ever releasing Mario Cart 74 on steam or any other pc platform, it just goes against everything they believe in (gaming is a social and family activity). But Tbh, I probably wouldn't want them too either.

Well there is Mario Kart Tour which is in beta for Android. Although it sounds like the controls are dumbed down somewhat and it will include microtransactions.

Part of the appeal of Nintendo are their unique control schemes that just don't translate very well to other systems.
