Ultrace

This page is owned by TealKitsune, and is in its early days of creation. Please excuse its informality and/or errors.
The Ultrace (styled ULTR♠CE) was a handheld made by Saber, Inc. in collaboration with Nintendo. It is an 8.5th generation handheld, much like the Nintendo Switch. It released in 2022.
Its main goal was to bring back the handheld market and show appeal to new and existing gamers. It was met with critical acclaim for revitalising the handheld market, but was criticised for its lack of innovation relative to the Switch.
It takes inspiration from the handheld Switch and the Game Boy Advance, with a single-screen design and most modern button inputs. 
==History==
In 2020, Saber, Inc. was formed as an Australia-based indie game company. The founder and current CEO expressed a desire to work with Nintendo. In late 2020 and early 2021, there were many leaks of trademarks being filed by Nintendo, along with another anonymous developer group (which later turned out to be Saber, Inc.). These were the following:
*Project Deck
*Lightbar
*CD-II
*Ultra Collab System/UCS
Whilst some had speculated many things based on the code names (such as a hanafuda card re-release), everything on the list were simply prototype names for the system. On the 15th of October 2021, a Nintendo Direct was announced. Prior to the broadcasting, some people had noticed an orange spade symbol in the bottom left corner. Due to this, speculation run rampant, even though nobody could come to a conclusion on what it meant.
Four days later, on the 19th of October, the Nintendo Direct showcased a new collaboration between them and Saber, Inc. deemed the Ultrace. Snippets of it were shown, in which fans noticed the unorthodox 1:1 screen. The founder of Saber, Inc. described the Ultrace in the Direct as "the Phillips CD-i on the go, done right". 
It takes inspiration from the handheld Switch and the Game Boy Advance, with a single-screen design and most modern button inputs. 
==Games==
There have been many games planned for the Ultrace, including the following:
* Kirby Reflective Revelations
*Super Mario Wonderland
*Super Smash Bros. Impact
* Pokémon Lock and Key
*Splatoon Legends
==Peripherals==
A few peripherals have been planned for the Ultrace.
The Deck was the first peripheral released for the Ultrace. It allowed up to 16 Ultraces to connect to a TV. It is cylindrical, with one rounded end. The non-rounded end is where a wireless HDMI port can be plugged in. Ultraces can connect wirelessly to the Deck. This received mixed to posivitve reviews, mostly criticising the small port. In later models of the Ultrace, The Deck comes with the console.
The Card was the second peripheral created for the Ultrace. it was created due to the outcry generated from the ultrace's unorthodox resolution. It straps onto the screen and creates a widescreen screen for games that would require it. Using it in conjunction with The Deck would create an experience similar to the Wii U.
