🎮 TIL Nintendo Switch Game KVM

The Nintendo Switch is very popular in my household. My six-year-old is at the right age to play a round or two of Mario Kart, TMNT, Kirby, or whatever we feel like, and it’s a fun night. What gets annoying is taking the Switch out from under our TV to switch games and wait for it to reconnect to the TV.

I was sharing this “pain” with a friend of mine who shared this Unitek 4-in-1 Game Card Reader (similar model) with me, which might be the most lazy product that I own. The Unitek reader connects to your Switch and holds four games, which you can switch between with a remote button. The product has no frills, but it doesn’t have to. All it needs to do is switch games when you press a button, which it does wonderfully.

Oh, a whim, I decided to check out their website to see what other products they make, and I stumbled on their Game KVM Docking Station with Remote. If I needed a Dock, I would be tempted. TBH, I’m already tempted to know if I could stack my 4-in-1 Game Card reader with the KVM Docking station to get seven games on standby, but I suspect the remotes will be on the same frequency.

If video game emulation is your thing, I picked up Delta last week for iOS in the App Store, but I have yet to have time to try it out. I own several small portable emulation devices that I rarely use, but Delta might be the one that finally sticks because I always have my iPhone with me.
