Like this very old video:
It would be great to see this finally manifest in the mainstream.

That'd be fun. Switch 3D!
Well you cant 'simulate' a 3d screen, you still need the screen to be capable of displaying 3d. Which would be fine for a dedicated handheld, but if you're also talking TV's in docked mode then it's a much bigger issue on various fronts. Not practical.

Kind of. Handhelds with eGPU support, like the RoG Ally, can technically run DLSS if paired with an RTX GPU. You'd need someone with that type of setup to test this at the moment.
Otherwise alternatively I guess if you had a laptop with a high resolution display (likely needing 4k) and RTX GPU you could try playing it at 1080p with no scaling so only part of the display is used (eg. a 16in 4k laptop would be 8in at 1080p).
I dont have a DLSS-capable GPU, but you could simulate this with almost any 1080p laptop or monitor display quite easily here if you do(TV's can also work, but most are 4k nowadays and distances get quite big here). Cuz it's not really the size of the screen that's important, it's the field of view, or how much the screen takes up in your vision. Its perceived size. Even an 8" screen can be cinema screen-sized if you hold it just a few inches from your face.
But to give some specific examples, an 8" screen from about 14" away roughly occupies the same field of view as(assuming all 16:9 here):
- a 14" screen from 25" away
- a 16" screen from 28" away
- a 24" screen from 42" away
- a 27" screen from 48" away
- a 32" screen from 56" away

Load a YouTube video up on your laptop and set it to 480p, now do the same thing but on your mobile phone.
Which one looks higher resolution?
There you go.

Looks amazing on 14 inch laptop.
So on 8 inch screen, it is probably same as native, or maybe even better than native (due to dlss aa)?
There were multiple rumors about the switch 2 being announced today.
Now in japan is late night, and the unofficial countdown has been reset to 19 November.

I don't see much reason why Nintendo would announce Switch 2 right before the holiday season.
i wonder if switch 2 will be regarded as "i" or "new" like in old nintendo era? so the games will still be crossgen with switch 1 for forseeable future like ds/dsi and 3DS/new3ds.
even the online service name is stayiing as "nintendo switch online"

Xbox Live remained as a name through many generations, that doesn't mean much.
And I dont think there's anything that could make the Switch successor less exciting than if they did what you're talking about here. It's been eight years since Switch came out, people will expect a whole lot more than just a Switch Pro at this point. Nintendo had the opportunity to go that 'mid gen upgrade' route before with Switch and clearly decided against it, and it's simply way too late for that now.
I think Nintendo will be confident of the power of exclusives to sell people on a new system and get the ball rolling on that install base, which helps further support sales and development costs for new games. Making it some Switch Pro would anchor themselves to a device from 2017 all the way through like 2033 or something. That'd be absurd. Maybe some cross gen period wouldn't be impossible, but I still think Nintendo believe enough in the traditional console model given how successful they are with it. And I think if they do have some cross-gen period, it'd be more of a 'launch window' thing than some years long transition like we annoyingly had with PS5/XSX.
