I just love the hybrid portability of the console. With an upgrade in power and memory, it would be really great. Also fix the damn Joy-cons. Eliminate drift and do something about how easily their signal is blocked. I often play with the joycons detached in separate hands, and sometimes simply having my leg up in the way of the controller causes it to not register button presses. And PLEASE include a good D-pad. Nintendo is the company who perfected D-pads and they haven’t had a good one in years. No d-pad on joy cons, and the d-pad on the pro controller sucks. Console/portable hybrids might be the future in the coming years, with things like the Steam Deck following in Nintendo’s footsteps. I’d love that. I always prefer sitting on the couch and playing games on my TV, but being able to take the console and play it anywhere is so nice. Oh don't get me wrong, I don't need another gimmick either. But it's Nintendo, in a world of SteamDecks and imitators, there will be a gimmick of some sort, I'd bet good money on it. And yeah, at this point, I think new better Joy-Cons are probably a given if it is a proper Switch successor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It also makes it so you can never play old games on new hardware without remaking them. Can’t play DS or Wii U games on new systems without changing the games to work with only one screen. It kinda sucks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It kinda sucks. But I gave a great example of how you could make a Switch 2 perfectly play any 2-screened game from the past with one of those very gimmicks I spoke of, one that theoretically wouldn't even add any cost to the Switch 2: The Switch 1 has 130 million or so owners at this point. Probably a very strong possibility that a sizable amount of those people will buy a Switch 2. If Nintendo advertises properly from the start, they might convince those people to keep those original Switch 1s so that they can pair with a Switch 2 for dual screen pay, without forcing you to pay for a separate controller with built in screen. Then, they could add additional retro-systems to their online service that used 2 screens, like the DS and 3DS (wouldn't count on such a service for the Wii U though, given how they've ported nearly every great game to the Switch already).

Russel Coight Posted February 28 Report Share Posted February 28 I think it’ll definitely be a Switch 2 of sorts. Hoping nothing too gimicky, maybe just 3D screen when handheld? Merge the 3ds and switch even more so. I really just want a more powerful switch. Hopefully they see the success of the switch and push forward with that rather than just complete looking for another gimmick. It also better be backwards compatible Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It also better be backwards compatible If the next system isn't a Switch 2 backwards compatible with Switch 1, I would be shocked, also I'd question why they only now just added Game Boy and GBA services to the system this late in it's life, I imagine those systems will carry over to the successor on day one, effecitvely giving the follow-up: NES, SNES, N64, GB/C, GBA, and Switch 1 (and Genesis) compatibility out of the gate, leaving the likes of GameCube, Wii, DS, and maybe even 3DS to possibly be added to it's services in time. Its easy to see why the Switch wasn't BC with Wii U, Wii, or GameCube games: it's a handheld device, a disc-drive was never in the cards. But if the next system is a proper follow-up and they just don't allow Switch 1 games to be played on it, that would be baffling. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah something like that would be cool. I’ve played some DS games on the Wii U, and while it’s not always the most comfortable way to play those types of games, it was nice to at least have the option! Also, they HAVE to start releasing GameCube games on either their online service or the eShop. I don’t understand why that specific console has always been ignored. On the Wii U you could buy and play NES, SNES, N64, Wii, and Wii U (and GBA and DS) games but not GameCube for some reason. Now on the Switch GameCube isn’t available on their online service either. And used GameCube games are astronomically overpriced, probably in part because there’s no (legal) way to play them on anything new. I wonder why they’re not making GameCube games accessible, outside of very rare remasters. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder why they’re not making GameCube games accessible, outside of very rare remasters. Yeah it is nuts because a Wii U can natively play GameCube games, though the system was never designed to accept them. Having hacked out my Wii U, it's so easy to get it to natively play digital copies of any GameCube game and its great. My money says that a GameCube service will indeed join the other services, but only for the Switch 2 (even if the Switch 1 could handle it) just to give that system some perceived extra value. And then if a GameCube service joins, a Wii one would have to be on the cards too given how similar their hardware is, and since 2 JoyCon can do a great job as as stand-in for a Wiimote and Nunchuck. Though without the IR bar you would have to re-center the pointer with the push of a button, but that's already been done for Wii ports to the Switch, so that should be totally feasible, even if its not the preferred way to play such games over a proper IR bar.

You are speaking my language. I've said many times in recent years that my hacked Wii U is my all time favorite gaming system. There was a LOT of missed potential with that device, but you can exploit a lot of that missed potential very easily, and when you do, damn is it a joy, being an all-in-one Nintendo system up to that point, with exception to the 3DS, however, you can even remote play a hacked out New 3DS on the hacked Wii U as well. It's pretty damn cool. And I have seen lots of people online in recent years sing praises to the system while recognizing that they never showed it the love it deserved in it's time. I think history will judge it as one of gaming's greatest failures (great as in a fantastic capable device that failed to capture a large audience, not great as in only a gigantic failure).

Al they had to do was name it something without “wii” in the name and it would’ve done so much better. Such a shame. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheerios4u98 Posted February 28 Report Share Posted February 28 If it weren't for the lack of great first party Nintendo games (no Mario 64 style 3D Mario game, no Metroid, the shittiest Star Fox ever, no Animal Crossing, and technically no original Zelda game since BOTW was also on Switch) the Wii U would have been really great. That system had so much missed potential. I can't believe there wasn't a Pokemon Snap for that console. That would have been hands down the BEST console to experience Pokemon Snap on. I really enjoyed the Wii U even without hacking it. But yeah, a hacked Wii U is pretty amazing. Haven't done it myself but I can't argue that point. It's a shame they fumbled it so hard. It also had by far the best official Nintendo eShop of any Nintendo console. I hate that they got rid of Virtual Console on the Switch. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is probably why I'm going to pick up a Steam Deck soon - with the gap closing between handheld and PC performance its such a viable option now. I think GeForce now (or an alternative) is going to take over the market, which means less reliance on the the physical hardware side and the gap to PC performance will close even further.
