The Nintendo Switch's portability has always been one of its most appealing factors -- you can pluck it out of its console dock and take your games with you anywhere. Nintendo even made a smaller version of the console, the Switch Lite, to make it easier to travel with. Michael Pick (aka The Casual Engineer on YouTube) did the opposite: He made the Nintendo Switch 650% larger.
At first glance, Pick's project looks like a simple wooden frame for a 4K TV, but it's so much more than that. This 65-pound (29 kilogram) behemoth is fully playable using the giant controllers that flank either side of the screen. They aren't technically functional controllers on their own -- each button on the oversized Switch controllers toggles a servo that presses the same button via a real Joy-con controller hidden in the project's chassis.
