In the magazine business, the Back Page is where you’d find all the weird goofs that we couldn’t fit in anywhere else. Some may call it “filler”; we prefer “a whole page to make terrible jokes that are tangentially related to the content of the mag”.<\/em><\/p>\n

We don’t have (paper) pages on the internet, but we still love terrible jokes \u2014 so welcome to our semi-regular feature, Back Page<\/a>. Today, Kate, Ollie, and Alana attempt to build the perfect console out of the discarded parts of Nintendo’s technology…<\/em><\/p>\n

\n

Psst. Hey. Are you bored of the constant Switch Pro rumours? Tired of your five-year old Nintendo Switch feeling like a last-gen console? Longing for the days of autostereoscopic 3D, motion controls, and massive purple cubes in your living room?<\/p>\n

Well… so are we, and that’s why we (Kate, Ollie, and Alana) have come together to create the ultimate<\/em> console, out of our favourite bits of all the previous<\/em> Nintendo consoles (excluding ones we didn’t feel like talking about, like the Virtual Boy, and spinoffs like the Nintendo Switch Lite and the Game Boy Micro). It’s all very democratic.<\/p>\n

(Oh, and Nintendo, if you’re reading this, we’re more than happy to help out with the design discussions when you realise we’ve struck gold.)<\/p>\n

We’ll begin with the newest console, the Nintendo Switch, and work backwards chronologically all the way to the NES…<\/p>\n

NINTENDO SWITCH

KATE: Alriiiight, let\u2019s dive in. We\u2019ll start with the Nintendo Switch, the most recent console and probably the\u2026 best?<\/p>\n

OLLIE: Yes, definitely the best.<\/p>\n

ALANA: No arguments here. But this could be a tough one. The Switch has so much going for it.<\/p>\n

KATE: Especially because we don\u2019t know what we\u2019re taking from other consoles yet. I\u2019m imagining this ending up like the Homer car<\/a>.<\/p>\n

ALANA: Perfect then.<\/p>\n
