Industrial design student Nidharshan Suresh’s Teenage Engineering XP-1 concept shows what the Nintendo Switch 2 could look like when it’s released next year. Sweden-based Teenage Engineering is known for their high-quality, minmalist electronics for music lovers, but this handheld game console wouldn’t look out of place in its current offerings.
Nothing has yet been confirmed by Nintendo, but the next-generation Switch is rumored to boast a an eight-core ARM Cortex-A78AE processor with 10 streaming multiprocessors (SMs), 8GB of RAM, 64GB of eMMC storage, 512GB of internal storage, and possibly a 120Hz OLED screen. However, the most important feature would be backwards compatibility with the original Switch game library and at least some of the accessories.
- Limited-edition design featuring elements inspired by Mario. Available while supplies last!
- Local co-op*, local wireless*, and online multiplayer**
- Detachable Joy-Con controllers
Mastering minimalism was a key takeaway from this project. Every detail matters in achieving clean, functional design. This project journey also gave me knowledge on Design for manufacturing (DFM), intricate product detailing, aesthetics and how design communicates brand values and target markets,” said Nidharshan Suresh, Industrial Design Student.
