I just hope it's fully backward compatible, and they keep the hybrid design. I love it. Rest they can play around as they like.
The hybrid design is probably the way they're going to go. I'd love a higher spec one that isn't though, even if it's just a pipe dream. The ideal set-up for me personally would be:
"New Switch Lite" - Undockable, permanently handheld, like the Switch Lite but with better hardware.
"New Switch" - Dockable, again like the Switch, but better hardware.
"New Switch Pro" - Undockable, permanently docked, better hardware than the New Switch.
New Switch obviously not the best name, but my creativity is bankrupt. At least it's not Switch U.
Just saving this comment for when "Switch U" is officially announced in April 2024 😅
It is Nintendo after all
If they announce a Switch U, having not learnt from the Wii U, I will be genuinely shocked. Do feel free to remind me if that occurs!
They lost 90% of their sales the last time they added that letter, I doubt the would do it again.
Switch V.
Super Switch would be cute.
All nintendo has to do is make a higher resolution OLED display, a bigger battery, and a modern day chip. Heck, they can even go Snapdragon.
More memory storage would be great too, especially if the trend towards digital only distribution continues. I'd prefer continued commitment to physical media, but now publishers are even pushing it more towards the disk/SD card basically just holding DRM for a game you still have to download, not to mention DLC and updates. I don't even have a particularly large Switch library but my 128 GB SD card is filling up fast.
I am digital only, and my 200GB filled up fast. The only silver lining is, since Switch doesn't support 4K, the size of games is smaller, so it can still have lots of games installed.
