This is a weird one, but I’d love to see a reimplementation of the sensor bar. The gyro controls haven’t cut it for me. I like how the Wii U game pad had the sensor bar built in to the bezel. The real engineering nightmare would be squeezing IR cameras into the top of the Joycon

Backwards compatability. Getting the 3DS has really made me appreciate how many games I can play on the system since I can play 3DS/DS/GBA games all natively. Whatever Nintendo does with the Switch 2, it should be backwards compatible with the Switch so that I can continue playing my favorite Switch games without having to wait for a port.
Switch 2 not being backwards compatible will unfortunately be a deal breakers for me and I’ve owned every Nintendo console/handheld they have made.
Getting a Steam deck and immediately having access to every game in my steam library is a huge deal and made me realize it’s a must for a switch 2.
Backwards compatibility with switch 1 cartridge support.
This is honestly the biggest thing. I’d add Nintendo account support with the ability to bring over digital purchases to the new system.
If they do those two things I will buy the next system no matter what other things they do with it.
Without this would be a massive slap in all player’s faces.
- Keep it portable. Steam is waiting for you Nintendo to see if it needs to release a new Steam Deck and become the only portable console.
- Keep Switch 1 binaries working on Switch 2.
- Shared internet access between account instead of paying a dumb and more expensive family subscription.
- More solid hardware (joycon are an expensive joke).
- Please, give Mii back ! It was such an awesome idea to have them in various games !
User replaceable battery. Just like the DS, little cover with a screw. Makes it so much easier to keep old hardware working well.
Integrated voice chat, or even better, Discord support like PS and Xbox are doing.
Joysticks that don’t have drift issues.
Trophies/Achievements!
It’s such a simple concept and it increases engagement when they are well implemented. I’d love to play the next Zelda and try to get all achievements. Also I love Steam’s achievement rarity, it makes me feel like a pro knowing that i’m one of the 1% that got some random achievement.
It adds to the overall experience.
I don’t need gimmicks. Better controllers, more comparable specs. Backwards compatible with current switch. I think I may be at a breaking point with exclusive hardware. I have enough games to play and I may stop moving forward if i can’t bring my games with me
Wireless Dock for dual screen gaming. Make it easier to port those ds, 3ds, and wii u games. I love having inventory and maps more readily accessible.
I would like to see a much better home firmware than horizon. Compared to the 3ds and the wiiu horizon is severely lacking.
- folders
- themes
- activity log
- music
- mii maker
All are severely lacking compared to previous implementations .
Ontop of this Nintendo online still sucks and I’d love to see it improved once and for all. I’d love to see servers for Nintendo games instead of them relying on peer to peer.
For me it’d be analogue triggers. I think a scroll wheel could also be cool and unique controller input.
I’ll say it once BACKWARDS COMPABILITY AND EASY SYSTEM EXPLOIT FOR CFW
Not sure if this counts as a feature, but; more expensive base hardware, less expensive peripherals. I’d legitimately pay like $400 for a top of the line handheld system as long as I could buy a second pair of controllers for less than $50.
I legitimately haven’t touched my Switch in like 3 years because of controller drift, and I just can’t bring myself to pay $80 for something that seems like it should cost $40. So my PS5 and XSX have pulled my attention away completely.
TotK nearly convinced me to jump back in, but I ultimately decided against it since it didn’t seem worth $150 to resume playing the Switch.
I only have 3rd party controllers, a dobe grip for handheld, and a ds4 for docked.
Contact customer service and ask for a repair. Nintendo got mass sued a couple years ago over the poor quality of the Joycons, and now has to repair drift for free even if the warranty period is up. I am not sure whether this applies to all parts of the world (I live n Germany), but I personally sent my Joycons to repair four times since buying the system (last one was in January) and always got a joke invoice for zero Euro from them. Only thing I had to actually pay for was postal service.
Even if they decline …asking doesn’t hurt and might be worth a shot.
A much smaller bezel. It’s so big on my original Switch, and the screen could be so much larger and prettier if it went nearly to the edges, without making the console larger at all.
