The Nintendo Switch is already a great system, but a YouTuber named Michael Pick decided to make it even bigger (via Polygon). The result is a device that is 650 percent larger than Nintendo’s portable hybrid. Pick claims to be the world’s largest fully functioning Nintendo Switch. And we believe him. It comes in 30 inches long and 70 inches wide, making it impossible to touch two buttons on either side of each other without stretching as far as possible. Oh, and the whole thing weighs 65 pounds.

The device you see is essentially a shell for a 4K LED TV and the system itself. The 3D-printed buttons and joysticks on the front connect to separate Joy-cons through a series of servos. Pressing one of the buttons on the switch’s face activates the corresponding input on the relevant Joy-con. The beauty of the design is that Pick did not need the controllers to make everything work. What’s more, it’s possible to remove the 3D printed assemblies that hold it in place, so you do not have to sacrifice any Switch components.
At this point, you’re probably wondering why Pick made the effort to turn a portable system like the Nintendo Switch into something so impractical. I mean, watch him try to play Mario Kart 8 Deluxe. To open the video, Picks says his goal was to create a switch that was ‘harder to lose’, but he ended the cut by his creation at the St. To donate to Jude’s Children’s Hospital. I do not know about you, but the child in me loves this idea, and it is easy to think that it brings a lot of joy and happiness to someone when they need it most.
