Nintendo WS

The Nintendo WS (originally known as Nintendo WDS and Nintendo WonderDS, codenamed as Project: Wonder Screen) is a mix-of-home-and-handheld hybrid game console produced by Nintendo as a main predecessor to the Nintendo 3DS and as a minor predecessor to the Nintendo Switch and the Nintendo GameCube 2. It includes features that show similar aspects to the GameCube 2, as well as other fanon Nintendo consoles.
The WS, an initialism for Wonder Screen, introduces distinctive new features: LCD touchscreens that are changeable via a set of aspect ratio LCD screens, a service of Microsoft Windows-based user functions, and built-in compatibility with mobile/computer software, along with mods with no need of using third-party sites to download.
== Overview ==
===Development and Reveal===
Before its release on 2023, there were rumors spreading about a sequel to the Nintendo Switch coming out soon. Mockups of it have been existing out of nowhere.
Development of the Nintendo WS began on 2017 after the Nintendo team took a break after all that development marketing on the Nintendo Switch. The console would later be announced on 2023 on the internet. Aside from the announcement, there were rumors spreading that The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom would be the last game for the Nintendo Switch, but was later considered false due to Pikmin 4 being confirmed.
A new and currently upcoming game for the Nintendo Switch called Super Mario Bros. Wonder was announced as part of the June 21, 2023 Nintendo Direct and is planned to release worldwide in October 20, 2023. A person under the name of Jariel J. got the idea from that game which is if there was a console that merged with the "wonder" part of that game.
===Controllers===
The Nintendo WS controller maintains its own layout and it can be toggleable, just like the Nintendo Switch. By default, it is a wireless horizontal rectangle-looking console with the following inputs: a D-pad hidden by a switchable square-shaped panel that has a round nub analog input known as the Circle Pad, the always-returning four-face buttons (A, B, X, Y), a C-stick near the aforementioned four-face buttons, bumper buttons (L, R), shoulder buttons (ZL, ZR (on top), SL, SR (on back)), a Home button, Start and Select buttons resembling the + and - symbols, a "Capture" button, and a "Power" button. What's new is the "Auto-Fire" button which automatically mashes the selected button when pressed with such button.
===Console Layout===
The console resembles a combination of the Nintendo 3DS and the Nintendo Switch. The console has a Switch-looking appearance, except an additional LCD touchscreen with its aspect ratio varying from customization can be inserted to the console, making it have 2 LCD screens instead of one.
===Software===
=====Home menu=====
Its home menu resembles a similar PlayStation 5 home menu, except it has a lot of differences. A lot of aspects from older Nintendo consoles exist in this console. The center shows playable games, both from what's inserted on the game slots and downloaded. The top left shows two tabs: Games and File Museum. The "Games" tab is, by default, selected. The top right shows three buttons: Search, System Settings, and the user labeled by its name, followed by the current time and date of the day. The vertical bar, located on the left by default, includes a bunch of buttons that lead to a certain app of its own: Manual - a service for console knowledge, Nintendo Network - a Nintendo Switch Online-styled service for Nintendo Network, News - a service for announcements announced by Nintendo, Nintendo eShop - a service for downloadable content, Nintendoverse - a social network service considered as a revival of Miiverse, Internet Browser - a browsing service, Mii Maker - a Mii-creating service, Inspect Brewster - a modding service, and Cloud Center - a cloud storage service.
Not being inside the Nintendo Switch and rather in a side of its box, the Nintendo WS' manual comes from inside the console and a booklet of its own. The contents of the console's manual includes that similar thing of the Nintendo 3DS. Quizzes, a new thing to manuals, are hidden in the manual. They are only available on the console's specific manual and not on the booklet, making it a likely-high chance for people using the Nintendo WS to cheat in quizzes.
Rather than Nintendo Switch's online subscription service, or better out of the Switch as Nintendo Online for the Nintendo GameCube 2, Nintendo Network returns after being absent since Nintendo's 2017 console of the same name. Just like the Nintendo 3DS and the Wii U, having a Nintendo Network ID can unlock features exclusive to having said ID.
====Built-in====
Provided is a list of pre-installed apps for the Nintendo WS. Health & Safety Information now serves as part of the console's manual.
*File Museum - Similar to the Nintendo Switch's built-in "Album" software, this stores files downloaded or created in the Nintendo WS. Pressing the "Capture" button on the console's joy-cons or on the controller, in supported software, will save a screenshot to the system memory.
*Nintendo eShop - Always returning ever since the Nintendo 3DS, it is a digital distribution service for the Nintendo WS. Like always, it features downloadable games, demos, applications, streaming videos, consumer rating feedback, and other information on upcoming game releases.
*Nintendoverse - Being a considerable replacement for the Miiverse that got discontinued in November 8, 2017, Nintendoverse is a social network service for the Nintendo WS. It shows similar aspects to the aforementioned Miiverse, along with features not included in Miiverse that are similar to other services such as Flipnote Studio, Discord, and many more.
*Internet Browser - Being absent on the Nintendo Switch, the Nintendo WS's internet browser functions as a multitasking system application. The browser supports HTML, CSS, JavaScript and HTML5 elements, as well as video or music. It can also download and show 3D images. However, similar to the Nintendo GameCube 2, alternatives such as Google Chrome, Microsoft Edge, Firefox, Opera, etc. are supported on the Nintendo WS and can be downloaded on the Nintendo eShop.
*Mii Maker - This program itself lets you create Miis, similar to the Wii, Nintendo 3DS, Wii U, and the Nintendo Switch. Unlike the aforementioned consoles, there is no limit of Miis to store for the Nintendo WS. This Mii Maker can use facial recognition to generate a Mii, which selects facial features based on a photograph of a person's face taken with the system's cameras. Just like the Nintendo Switch, this Mii Maker provides unnatural hair and eye colors. Miis can be transferred between Nintendo WS consoles and imported from a Wii, Nintendo 3DS, Wii U, or a Nintendo Switch using an amiibo figure. Miis can also be imported from a Nintendo Account.
*Inspect Brewster - Returning from the Nintendo GameCube 2 is the homebrew developing and modding app called White Hole, now renamed into Inspect Brewster for a more "fitting" title. It has everything from said console's well-known White Hole, except the difference is that a Nintendo Network ID is required for a wide variety of homebrew apps and mods rather than using Nintendo GameCube 2's Nintendo Online subscription service. The app's Mod Manager can toggle any installed mod to being either enabled or disabled.
*Cloud Center - A could storage app where you backup any media, Miis, games, or other stuff for things like future transferring between consoles.
====Games====
Only games with the Nintendo WS Games category are listed here. In order for a game to be listed in here, add the aforementioned category into the game's page.
====Virtual Console====
Returning from previous consoles is the Virtual Console, which serves as a software of old-console titles. With this, players are able to feel nostalgia when playing classic games despite not owning physical copies of them.
===Mobile App===
Similar to the Nintendo GameCube 2, the Nintendo WS mobile app is available on mobile devices. The app can sync your device and use it as a controller (when nearby the console) or an emulator (when not nearby the console), purchase eShop content when not nearby the console, transfer media from mobile to media from console, and many more.
===Variations===
Currently only two variations of this console exists, but more are yet to be implemented later.
====Nintendo WS Mini====

====Nintendo WS XL====
To celebrate 2 months of the Nintendo WS, Nintendo released an XL version of the Nintendo WS on August 21, 2023. The Nintendo WS XL is an XL version of the Nintendo WS. It's the same console as the Nintendo WS, but it is grown to a larger size.
====Nintendo WS Unsnap====
To celebrate 3 months of the Nintendo WS, Nintendo released a version of the Nintendo WS where the joy-cons aren't detachable on September 21, 2023. The Nintendo WS Unsnap is a version of the Nintendo WS that joy-cons are not detachable, similar to the ones from Nintendo Switch Lite.

==Trivia==
===General===
*Mario Party+Kart is the first ever game for the Nintendo WS.
*Tomodachi Islands is the first ever port to be for the Nintendo WS, originating from the Nintendo Switch.
*A few of the standard bundle colors, if not all, had early names before launch:
** "Lite White" was originally gonna be called "Wicked White".
** "Darkened Black" was originally gonna be called "Blackened Black", but was changed to avoid controversy.
**"Emerald Green" was a scrapped name and was originally called "Slimy Green". It was changed to Emerald Green because many Nintendo workers thought "Emerald Green" fits a lot more better.
===Behind the scenes===
*This page was originally gonna be created in June 27, 2023, but due to Jariel himself not having enough time to create the page, it was postponed to June 28, 2023. Unfortunately, his internet connection would not go up, which had leaded to another postpone to June 29, 2023.
*The console was designed in Scratch.
*The text on the console is not supposed to be Times New Roman. Noto Sans was used for the console. The fact that the wiki displays the text as Times New Roman rather than Noto Sans is likely due to the Noto Sans font not being installed on this wiki yet.
*This console predicted a bit of Nintendo's new console concept.
===References=== 
*The backwards compatibility for the Nintendo WS shows a really similar aspect to the Nintendo GameCube 2, except it has a few adjustments.
*Both this console and the Nintendo GameCube 2 share the same name of the standard bundle color called Emerald Green.
===Easter eggs===
*In File Museum, when pressing X + L + ZR at the same time a few times, the layout will turn into a room from Luigi's Mansion: Dark Moon, then shows 1-5 scenarios from the title screen of Luigi's Mansion Arcade and when it ends, the layout will turn back to normal. To instantly turn the layout back to normal, press Y and the right side of the D-pad 5 times.
