From Fangamer and famous historian Jeremy Parish comes the Flip Grip accessory on Kickstarter. Designed for Nintendo Switch, the campaign propositions the system-wide grip for the console’s arcade games that use vertical orientation for a 1:1 match.
The Flip Grip posits a solution to multiple Switch arcade re-releases through Arcade Archives and the like (such as last week’s surprise drop of Donkey Kong) which make use of vertical screens but who’s Joy-Cons only attach to the system on the sides horizontally. The Flip Grip acts like a hub to slide the Joy-Cons on the side, while the Switch itself goes in the middle. Spaces placed around the back counter-acts the risk of the system overheating and maintain air flow. With how the Switch is placed in the shell, only the power button and charge port are inaccessible.
