Forums - Nintendo Discussion - Now that Switch is selling, it needs to evolve...

Now that Switch is proving to be a success, Nintendo must not sit on their hands and evolve the machine. After 2 months and some patches (up to 2.3.0), the UI is basically the same. I love my Switch, but it's starting to feel a bit limited.

Switch needs:

- an improved UI, with folders, icon organization, etc (3DS like)

- third party apps (social networks, netflix, etc)

- better social integration for sharing, etc

- full fledged browser

- achievement system

- PS: And offcourse, Cloud Saves

I think it's obvious most of this things are coming sooner or later, but I think Nintendo should start mentioning whats on the horizon and whats not. 

I just hope E3 will bring some news on this issues, at least since they are probably disclosing more about the paid online system.

I care about none of these things. Just keep delivering the games.



I can see these updates happening around when Online services payment gets out.

Or break it out in different updates with a month or 2 between them.

I also want a better playtime tracker. Like the 3DS version.



Pocky Lover Boy! 

Yeah, and the app needs to come. It's crippling not having it.



I'm with Sundin on this one. A lot of that stuff is superfluous. I like the clean, snappy design. It's a gaming system and it plays games - there's something refreshingly streamlined about that.

I would like to be able to group chat with friends, however. That's really my only request.

Games come first. But better online, folders, and chievies need to come soon-ish.

Wouldn't say it absolutely needs those things, but I do hope they happen, atleast the ability to message friends.



Would like folders and a browser WITH WiiU gamepad backwards compatibility because typing with a d-pad sucks big time. Everything else is whatever...



Maybe they'll announce some improvements on the E3 direct.

Same. I can use my laptop for internet and Netflix, and I really don't care about achievements and stuff like that.

Especially in the first year, they should keep focussing fully on games.
