Technically I think they can emulate the dual screen. The only thing missing is just having 2 screens. But they can basically split the Switch's 6.2" screen and place the NDS/3DS dual screens on the left and right. Since the Switch has a touch screen anyway, the 'lower' screen can still work with stylus.

I did some calculations, the 3DS has a 3.53" 15:9 upper screen, 3.02" 4:3 lower screen, this makes them 3.02"x1.82" and 2.42"x1.8". The Switch has 6.2" 16:9, this makes it 5.4"x3". So the Switch's screen has enough width (only 0.02" short) to show the same size dual screens of the 3DS.

The question is whether Nintendo wants to make an emulator and start selling (or re-selling) NDS/3DS titles on VC. Probably sometime down the road they will (obviously focus is on getting native Switch games out first), especially when they want to boost sales of the Switch (or give it a second wind when necessary).
so meaning in portrait mode?

dunno man. then where's the joy-con going to go? :(
another overpriced accessory? :s13:

No i mean landscape mode, using switch as it, splitting the screen left-right, so the joy cons can still be used as is. If flipping it portrait it should have bigger screens but will be hard if joy con buttons and sticks are needed, probably can still be done if they make a different grip attachment thing, but not neat.
