This giant new Nintendo Switch is utterly ridiculous

If there's one thing the the latest generation of video games is known for, it's enormous hardware. From the PS5's huge (and hugely memed) shape to Microsoft's fridge-esque Xbox Series X, today's consoles are anything but small. The exception is, of course, the Nintendo Switch – or it least it was until this ridiculous mod came along.

An engineer has built a fully working Nintendo Switch that's 650 per cent larger than the original. At 70 inches wide and 30 inches tall, it isn't exactly ideal for taking on the bus – and that's before factoring in the 29.5kg weight. But hey – it has a 4k display.
