Pretty much everything PS4/Xone offer right now such as
System:
----remote play
----Cross Buy

----Voicechat( in all games and ALWYAYS)
----Video Chat

----Some sort of Snap functionality
----Shareplay
----Being able to make Screenshots
----Being able to make Videos
----Editing Software
----Social Interaction (Like FB, YT, Twitch and whatever might be popular in 2017)
----Apps....at least offer some cool ones

----Proper Account system
----Proper friend System
----Some sort of subscription(optional or mandatory I don´t care!)

----match making in games
----Video chat
----Streaming in general (build in a friggin proper wifi...not the BS you find on a junkyard)


Hardware:
----Hardware that is almost as powerful as PS5/Xbox2-720 if Nintendo releases new Hardware 2-3 years before Sony/MS else it has to be equal to PS5/Xbox2-720
----Common architecture
----NO BACKWARS COMPABILITY unless its emulation! (Seriously nobody gives a fuck about BC....and those who do have the old console)
----NO crappy gimmick HARDWARE! you can´t really change hardware down the line. So have your gimmicks in Software
----Not 1 TB of a harddrive space...by then (I assume 2017/2018) it has to be at LEAST 2 TB (MS/Sony will prolly have 1-2 TB as a standard)
----Build on the Pro Controller!
----TALK TO THIRD PARTY ABOUT HARDWARE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Those are the minimum requirements I have towards Nintendos next gen console as those are the standards Sony/MS set this gen (and this gen is still in its early years...no way to tell whats coming in 2-5 years). So Nintendo needs to match the above stuff (plus 3rd Party support) and add new things I didn´t know I wanted till they showed me(like that whole sharing thing..I love it!).


Great post! (by the way I feel that vgchartz would need a 'like' button for posts like this) I agree with almost all you points, but I fear that nintendo don't have the ability to make such advanced hardware anymore (since the dear gamecube).

Also what you are describing mostly is a PS4 hardware + PSN / XBL features. I would love if Nintendo would become third party and develop software for PS4: decent hardware, unifed account, friends, trophies, share, etc. all of this on Nintendo great games! Wow! A dream team!

I could bear the cheap and weak hardware (because of useless Backward compatibility) but I really can't bear no real unified account and no trophies system at this day and age, that's unacceptable for a modern device! That's the real reason I don't buy stuff on the 3DS store.

And yes, please ditch the gamepad for the next console and build on the pro-controller familiy which is very good (even if still incomplete, no analog trigger etc.), but ideally, it would be really best if they simply use a DS4, we'll get the DS4 features like touch pad, the built in audio + motion stuff which could work on many Nintendo games, current and future.
