Been thinking about it recently, and I honestly feel that the Switch is probably the perfect console form factor. Obviously, physical specifications can be improved (faster processor, more battery life), but in terms of the form factor itself, it’s so balanced in the way you can play it on a big screen and handheld
I don’t think Nintendo would ever move away from this model, but thinking ahead (even after a potential Switch 2), how could Nintendo evolve beyond this type of form factor? Or is this perhaps the peak of this type of design and we’re just getting improved specs/minor ergonomic changes from here on out (which I’d be totally fine with)?
No it’s not, I really don’t like the flimsy joycon slide locking mechanism. Every time I played handheld mode I have to wiggle or take it out then in again to get past the controller check.
I wish they have a non-lite version that can also dock and play games like ring fit with extra pair of joycons. Basically steam deck ish but from Nintendo.
Given the universal issues with stick drift these days, I would be extremely frustrated if a $300+ console came with a set of irreplaceable controllers.
Welp make them easy to repair then? Wouldn’t that make more sense? Cause stick have actual wear/tear issue that aligns with manufacturer QA threshold, there is no vender can test and provide 100% guaranteed life span.
