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

But the right joy-con already has a IR-Camera.

…On the bottom. One on the top that can work in tandem with some sort of sensor bar would have to be squeezed in above the R and ZR buttons.

WiFi AX, Gigabit Ethernet on the dock, and ATMOS Surround support or bust. Would be obsolete off the batt to me without.

There’s three features I know but, I stand.

Suppose there’s no point to newer network standards for Nintendo because Nintendo -.-

But the cruddy 5.1 support on a nice setup is one of the reasons I don’t really fully enjoy sound effects/scores when playing on my TV.

Even on headphones the Audio still feels dated.

But maybe it’s me, being a technophile/audiophile. 🤔

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.

That’d be amazing, like a reverse Wii U

I loved my wii u and was disappointed when the tablet screen didn’t get used. If it was more successful (as the switch has been and hopefully how the switch 2 will be) then it probably would have been better utilized.

The Wii U Gamepad was originally planned to be the “map” part: https://youtu.be/SECWlFInyFM?t=42 … so yes, it definitely would have been utilized better.

Sounds like a latency nightmare.

They did a good job with Wii U’s latency. The only thing that was shit was its range, which wouldn’t be a big deal because you’d only want to stream to the TV if you were in the same room as it. Ideally it’d be a dock that you can physically put the console in or stream to it.

Wireless transmission latency is good enough for pc players connecting to oculus headsets. Besides, if this is just a wishlist, I would hope that nintendo keeps traditional docking as well if you are playing a latency critical game or want to use a pro controller instead of the console itself as the controller.

Record videos longer than 30 seconds, and for ALL games. As it is now, the Switch can only record the last 30 seconds of gameplay (which, in itself, is really cool because it works retroactively) and if you want to make longer videos, you either need to record consecutive clips and edit them on a different device, or you need a capture card. And it only works for some games to begin with - The Witcher 3 for example does not support that feature. You can take screenshots, but no videos.
