In theory could switch have a more powerful dock released

Is it possible that Nintendo could release a special dock that would enable the switch to play more powerful games exclusively on the TV? I am really hoping for a new and powerful Nintendo home console and I just hope the reason they didn't show that many games is because they are going to reveal this power dock with a handful of exclusive games at E3.

No.

I know, I wont get my hopes up. And I am not talking about the Dock it is releasing with in march. I am just asking if it's possible to increase the power of the switch one day via the dock. You know, like the N64 expansion pack did. So like maybe an expansion dock. Or something.

It's not possible.

Yes, it is possible and probably will be in the future. Nintendo tested this idea and has a patent on it.

A patent is the protection of an "idea". Tech companies tend to patent various configurations and ideas even if they have zero intention on using it, it's a good defense to defend yourself against litigation for example.

Ergo. A patent is not a guarentee for anything.
