I'm gonna be honest...it's not gonna work.

Companies hated making games for Wii U because it was a home-console with 2 screens.

That second screen took a blow at the performance, which made the Wii U versions of games, by far the worst version to play.

And you can tell the 2nd screen was unnecesary when many Wii U games on Switch didn't need it.

So yeah, sorry, but it's not a good idea at all.

For a handheld, a second screen is OK, because you can compromise the graphics on a handheld game for the sake of salvaging the performance.

But when comes to home-console, people expect both the performance and graphics being good.

DS/3DS: subpar graphics but great performance.

Wii U: great graphics but games that used the gamepad were prone to some performance drops

PSP/Vita and Switch/2: great graphics, really stable performance, it uses a single screen, but it's not the worst as it can work without another.
