spasticColon posted:So the Switch is still selling like hotcakes? I probably will get one but not until they come out with a thinner and lighter "Switch Lite". I'm kinda hoping they come out with one with a ~5 inch screen, thinner (meaning no stupid cooling fan), and of course lighter with better battery life.

Well how can they improve the Switch? Most people agree that the screen size is perfect. Refined joycons seem like the most likely bet. Better battery, better dock cooling, and a tougher screen seem like no brainers too.

Yeah the size of the thing is perfect. I could maybe go for larger more ergonomic Joycons but that starts to cut into portability. It could be lighter, my wrists get sore during longer sessions when I'm laying down.

Supercar Gautier posted:I don't think a drastically smaller Switch is happening anytime remotely soon, if at all. How do you charge your extra joycons if the ones on the system aren't removable? If Nintendo somehow can make the innards smaller they should keep any revision the same size and have a bigger battery inside. Making a smaller, handheld only Switch would mean less room for the battery which is bad for a handheld.

An actual durable screen is a must. That the Switch's screen isn't at least as durable as a decent smartphone's is lovely. I really need to order a pair of those screen protectors at some point, and Nintendo needs to make screens of a similar quality from the start.

They could also do a dedicated home console version with no screen or battery.

Their handheld focused console is the 3DS. They don't seem very interested in phasing out the 3DS anytime soon. A second version of switch will probably just have the same functionality, just bigger/better or something. Like a big fuckoff ipad sized switch for people who like to play it in handheld or kickstand mode. Or maybe they'll upgrade the rail system and just focus on different attachments. Like some dumb VR headgear attachment, although I don't know about the hardware capabilities to allow VR gaming, and it defeats the purpose of docked mode. Maybe we'll get a modular system so you can switch while you switch.

No because it doesn't have AICH DEE RUMBLE. Thankfully the system comes with a perfectly good controller.

If you want a slim handheld with no dock and superior portability there's about forty different DS models you can pick up.

I don't want to get into pants-chat but the DS isn't particularly more portable than the Switch. I wouldn't take either with me without a bag of some kind.

Clamshell means you can close it up and pop it into a jacket pocket. Switch needs a case IMO. It's also quite a bit bigger with the Joy-Cons attached. I only ever had regular sized DS units tho, the XLs may be less easy to stash in pockets. That being said, Switch is the future and I haven't turned my 3DS on once since I got it.

If you're not toting around a Switchel (a Switch satchel, for the uninitiated), then you are lost.

Hello, Nintendo? I have quite the idea for you! What if you took the reason you gave your console a specific name and removed that functionality? What? No, it won't compete with your other handheld. Oh? That things dead anyway, right? ...No? Well, think about how many people will buy it if you reduce the size and lower the cost? What do you mean it's selling extremely well? Look, I'm just trying to give you ideas for a specific use case that will greatly benefit me personally, two months after the system you just made released. I'm a genius, and you made the New Nintendo 2DS XL, a cheaper alternative to a popular device that removes a neat but entirely cosmetic function. Why do you hate money? Nintendo!!!!!!!!

The 3DS won't die anytime soon because there are still a lot of good games coming out for it and a loving enormous back catalog of good games Sure new games might stop coming out in a year and a half or so, but hardware will still be produced for a while
