Ever since the release of the Nintendo Switch®, more than 80 million gamers globally have made gaming on the go a huge part of their daily ritual. Unfortunately, many of these gamers also believe that this handheld gaming experience is a bit underwhelming because of the miniscule size of the current Nintendo Switch® screen. That’s why the team at Up-Switch created the all-new ORION™ for gamers craving a larger and more immersive gaming experience without giving up portability. By increasing your actual gaming screen size by 188% and upgrading your audio experience with the integrated stereo speakers, your Nintendo Switch® combined with ORION will deliver the gaming experience that every gamer deserves! 

It’s time to play your favorite Nintendo Switch® games without compromise!

You may have seen portable gaming monitors on the market, but these products are limited because they must be packed up, carried to a new destination, and then unpacked and setup again before you can enjoy what they offer. ORION is much more than just a portable gaming monitor. ORION is the integrated handheld gaming experience for your Nintendo Switch® that you wished every other portable monitor could be. Secure any Nintendo Switch® (IPS or OLED) into the back of the ORION and seamlessly lock your Joy-Con® controllers into the Ergo Grip setup on the sides of ORION and you can game at home, on your way to and at your final destination! Finally, a Nintendo Switch® gaming experience with truly epic visual and auditory boosts.

Do you own more than just a Nintendo Switch®? Well, things just keep getting better because ORION can also act as a portable monitor for any gaming system with HDMI connection. Connect any Xbox, PlayStation or other gaming console or PC directly to ORION and start gaming anywhere you can plug that console in!

Underwhelming gaming experiences continue with smartphones even when you own the largest 8.3” screen on the market today. Now you can connect your smartphone to ORION and enjoy an 11.6” video and gaming experience your foldable device could only wish it could provide. ORION even boosts your smartphone experience!

Our uber-practical kickstand design lets you adjust your ORION viewing experience to the perfect angle when not enjoying its handheld capability. Whether watching a movie or playing games at the table, you’ll be thrilled at ORION’s flexibility.

Never run out of battery while you game again! While your Nintendo Switch® is docked in the back of the ORION, it will continue to charge even while playing when your ORION is plugged in with its USB-C based charging. As an Indiegogo-Exclusive bonus, you can also get a free ORION Portable Battery if you claim any Medium Level and above Perk for on the go power! That’s right, you can extend the battery life of your Nintendo Switch® while ORION gets powered via our portable battery connection. 

ORION truly is the perfect Nintendo Switch® companion. Bigger screen, amazing speakers, better Ergo Grips and designed to hold almost any brand of USB-C battery pack!

We wanted to offer something really special for those who help us get ORION off the ground. So we created Perk levels of ascending awesomeness with more and more bonus items and swag as you go up the tiers. Our starting Perk tiers are shown below. If you want more details about any of them please read the descriptions in the Perk selection area where you’ll get all the details.

We are forever in debt to you, the early backer.  Without your help ORION could fizzle out before takeoff. Aside from all the physical goodies you’ll get when you choose a Perk, you’ll also get a lifetime discount code to use at Up-Switch.com where we’ll eventually be selling ORION during our eCommerce phase in 2022. So, if you need an extra ORION unit or any one of our many upcoming products, you’ll be able to grab them at a discounted rate – FOREVER! You are just as much a Founder as we are, so we are excited to offer these lifetime discount codes to all of our backers. P.S. ORION is an epic gift for any gamer so your discount code may come in handy around the holidays.

*Discount code not valid for use with future closeout items, items already discounted and some licensed and affiliated products. 

The ORION project has entered the final production stage, and we plan on shipping in time for the holidays with your help! COVID business challenges have created many hurdles for everyone producing consumer electronics goods, and it has been extra difficult for startups like ours. Up-Switch secured computer chips months ago, but we had to pay a premium price just to get them in time for production. Plastics prices have doubled since the project began at the beginning of the year, and now we will have to pay 4x projected freight charges just to ensure products will reach customers in time for the holidays. With your help, we can deliver ORION in time for holiday gift giving or to play new games releasing this year. 

We are ready to produce your ORION unit right now! That’s right, all of our tooling is completed and our shipping plans are made. All that is left is to click the “on button”. You can rest assured that not only will you receive your perk but you’ll also receive it in a timely manner. Here is a collage of our REAL tooling components that will be making your very own ORION unit. We are also happy to answer any questions people have about our manufacturing or logistics setup at support@up-switch.com. We know transparency is king when it comes to crowdfunding so don’t hesitate to reach us with any questions you have to put your mind at ease that we’re ready to ramp up production.
