Nintendo is one of the oldest gaming franchises in the industry. It is home to some of the biggest consoles, such as the GameBoy, Wii U, Switch, and many more. The Japanese company invests in making top-end products to provide the ideal gaming experience to fans. However, as time passes, they deviate their fans from older products with the launch of new ones, introducing better performance in them.
But then, there are a few fans who never let go of their devices, thinking about making some insane modifications or hacks in the future. Such has been the case with a Nintendo fan who posted a crazy picture featuring a Steam Deck alongside 3DS games. Quite impressive, right? Well, the picture left us awestruck, too, as it took us back in time when Nintendo had dropped its first-ever dual screen, the Wii U.
