OK, here my wishlist:
- First of all: it should retain the switching between docked and mobile like the Switch. Also the versatility of the Joycons supporting different input schemes including classical controls should be kept.
- A decent power upgrade, but they should be mindful it being a mobile device and set a limit on power consumption as a priority.
- A release date not earlier than 2022, better 2023. Switch has life in it until then. Nintendo also should support Switch until then, not drop support suddenly like they did with Wii.
- Backwards compatibility to Switch, including the ability to redownload all my digital Switch purchases on Switch 2.
- A system seller launch title and at least five system sellers in the first year. The success of the Switch is in no small part thanks to BOTW. And to further extent to the excellent first year. I think Nintendo planned the following titles as system sellers: BOTW, 1-2-Switch, Arms, Splatoon, Mario Kart 8 Deluxe and Super Mario Odyssey. 1-2-Switch and Arms may be fell a bit short, but this wide array of different titles allowed for many customers to flock to Switch. So I wish a classic title like Zelda or Mario and a more casual title like Mario Kart, Wii Sports or RingFit as launch titles and as I said followed up by three more system sellers the first year.
- Indie friendly.
- Folders and themes.
- The ability to message friends.
- Tournaments even for single player games. I think something like Pinball FX 3 does, there is a time and a set of rules and in this time you try to reach high scores.
- I wish a pointer ability like the Wiimote had. To this day I think the Wiimote pointer ability is the best console input scheme for shooters, close to mouse aiming. One Joycon already has a IR camera, but Wii used a sensor bar to make this possible. However the tech, I wish for this pointing ability again.
