Name a single feature you’d like to see in a Switch 2 (lemm.ee)

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

It sounds like you basically just don't want a switch. The reason the switch has done so well is because of the portability and ability to easily dock and "switch" between modes. If you want a traditional console, that has a disk tray, and tons of power, you should consider a playstation or xbox. Additionally I am very supportive of backwards compatibility but at this point, the GCN would be 4 generations (going to be 25 years on switch 2 release) back and having to put in hardware to be backwards compatible that far back I think is unreasonable.

Pretty much, I don't want a Switch. But I'm required to have one to play Nintendo games legally. Considering how little I play my Switch I think I'm just going to wait and see how emulation for Switch 2 goes.

Well that's part of their value prop, their games. Clearly it's working as it got you to purchase a switch when you don't really like the concept.

Yeah but it's solidified that I won't be doing it again. Switch emulation is brilliant, with another underpowered Switch console I don't doubt emulation will be easy.
