Alrighty, we all love contemplating the future on this sight so here's my latest thought. Historically, I have almost always been supportive of Nintendo's "innovation first" mentality when it comes to their hardware. I loved how much the Wii/DS line changed up the industry compared to the GC/GBA. I loved how you could take the Wii U tablet to the bathroom and the kitchen, and I somewhat enjoyed the 3d effect of the 3ds (though not in years). The Switch, in my opinion, is their greatest innovation ever. It has better motion controls than the wii (and WAAAY less clunky) and is the most convenient device I've ever owned other than a handheld (but the fact that it can player full fledged games makes up for that).

The 3D-stuff was nothing great, the real innovation of the 3DS was Streetpass, I'm sad to see it gone with Switch. Same with Miiverse, I hoped they would've continued it with Switch.

In reality, the Switch is an evolution of the wii u gamepad. It looks so similar, but functions much better both in power, energy, ability to go anywhere, and connecting EASILY to a television.

This all leads me to something I've realized about my desire for Nintendo in the future; I just want them to keep making stronger versions of what they started with the Wii U and the Switch. I don't ever want to go back to a lame console that you can't take on the go or plug in easily to a tv. Let the Sony and Microsoft fans hall around tons of massive hardware. I basically want the Switch to be the new playstation (better hardware each time, but not changing up the formula too much), because, at least in my current mindset, I can't imagine enjoying a system more than I do this small, convenient, incredibly mobile device. 

What say you?

Having a mobile console is great, and the hybrid concept makes it even better. I hope they stay with the hybrid concept.

I was only sort of into streetpass, but Miiverse I loved and I was sad to see it not in Switch as well. I just think gamers are more comfortable sharing gaming things on something like that than facebook. With actual social media you don't want all your friends and family to think your THAT big of a nerd lol. And yes, they should stick with the hybrid. Glad to see so many agree with that perspective.
