9 Things Nintendo Could Add To Switch 2 So It's Not 'Just Another Switch'

Let's have a look at some slightly more 'out-there', unexpected ideas that Nintendo could add to the Switch successor to open up new gameplay possibilities.

I don't mind gimmicky features like the PS Vita or Switch (evolution of the Wii) had, as long as they're an option and not forced. I mostly play Mario Golf handheld w normal controls, but every great once in a while, I'll use the motion controls to play a round. My kids especially love it. Or swinging the sword and shield in Skyrim.

I grew tired of the Wii quickly though back in the day, where most games were requiring waggle.

With whatever they choose, I hope it's a bonus feature that some games may fully embrace, but not all. Also whatever they choose, I hope it's not a financial straining point so much that it forces them to use excessively weak hardware in order to keep the price down.

Honestly, I wouldn't mind if they release a standard Switch 2 and a Switch 2 Pro side by side. I would most definitely go Pro.

These are some of the things I would like to see in the Switch 2.

1) 4k when docked (hopefully with the rumored DLSS integration)
2) better joy-cons (that don't drift/break so easily)
3) backwards compatibility with physical media (I know they said it will be backwards compatible but I don't think they specified if if will be with cartridges or not)
4) better online functionality
5) better Eshop (it is a joke how the current Eshop is in this day and age)

Number 1 should be better online. They need to overhaul it

[gold_drake]

better online functionality

[OtterX]

YES!! Better than any possible gimmick they could throw in. Just invest that money into an online system that doesn't feel like it's from the PS3/360 era!

[The_Hooligan]

Absolutely!

[Knightofelemia]

Message a friend, drop the code to add a friend, and a party chat system would be great features.

[Rainbowcookie]

Would have like a dock only console with more power. But man I would like trophies or achievements too. Message a friend etc.

If we are talking about different features, I would really like the ability to stream content to the screen while using it in handheld mode. Basically, a Wii U Gamepad 2.0.

I'm fully aware that few games would use that feature, but the possibilities for new game modes, inventory management, and especially asymmetrical multiplayer would be there.

And if there is a "Lite," I hope it isn't artificially limited like the current model. Adding the ability to "switch" to it would cost literally just a few cents, and Nintendo could make more money by selling specific docks and controllers for it. Not to mention, it would still retain its niche as a smaller device without detachable controllers.

I miss the PS3 UI where you had themes that updated the whole system. The Uncharted xmb icons were dope.

If Switch 2 sells near Switch 1, they'd surely make like a billion off selling those

Solar panel???
Jezz
How about propellers so it can fly like a drone?

[PRIMORDUS]

For one thing it's going to be easier to crack compared to the original Switch. Might buy it, might not time will tell. 😆 I found this handy little guide that's for Nintendo, so they can understand LOL. https://uploads.disquscdn.c...

And here i thought piracy was like “yo ho ho and a bottle of rum” firing canons sailing the seven seas and shit 🤣

[PRIMORDUS]

Yes, now we can do that while sitting on our chairs, drinking rum and fire canons (mouse clicks 😂) while sailing torrent sites 😛

[lukasmain]

I will buy 1 switch 2 to hack it and pirate everything. And another Switch to play online with friends for the only select few games that Nintendo decides you are allowed to play with a friend online. So many games are local 2 player only and not online 2 player

[lukasmain]

They need to overhaul their terribly pathetic online service
