Some Switch Games Can Apparently Be Played Vertically

Apart from maybe mobile phones and tablet, the majority of gaming devices were designed to be played vertically. However it seems that thanks to the unique design and portable nature of the Nintendo Switch that it has been suggested that maybe the console could support gaming in a vertical orientation.

In a photo posted onto Reddit, it shows the Nintendo Switch with a gaming running on it called “Turf Masters” that has it laid out vertically. This is an interesting orientation although it is also a bit weird at the same time. This is because the Switch is kind of long and playing games in this manner would be a bit awkward.

However the orientation suggests that maybe there could be some games that could take advantage of that. Some have even suggested that maybe it could be used as an emulator for the Nintendo 3DS where the length of the console would be able to fit both the top and bottom portions of the console.

We’re not sure if this is a glitch or if it was done on purpose, but like we said it could open the doors for some interesting gameplay, but what do you guys think? Do you think that the Switch would be good for vertical style gaming?
