    The memory card … It was originally designed to even allow gaming on the card like a mini gameboy when disconnected. By now it would be. A steam deck that acts as a controller… Huh reminds me of the vita…

      They do exist. For sonic adventure you could load a Chao onto it and it was basically a tamagotchi.

        Dude yes I remember you could race the entire race on Wacky Racers with the controller. Felt so ahead of its time.

      The fact that nobody has done “screen in a controller” since Nintendo toyed around with a handful of Gamecube-GBA games is a crime. It was a cool ass idea that got displaced by internet lobbies before it got off the ground.

      edit: yeah I know Wii U too but that’s not what I mean, that’s something else.
