I am very afraid that Nintendo will repeat many of its mistakes with the Wii U with the Switch's successor. Specifically that they will try to reinvent the wheel again when it's completely unnecessary. The gamepad was innovation for innovation's sake without any thought as to why such a controller might be needed. The changes the Wii and Switch brought were necessary because of how poorly their predecessors did. If they didn't try to be revolutionary and kept the Wiimote format they may not have sold Wii numbers, but it definitely would have sold much better. Heck, the Wii was outselling the Wii U in December 2012 and for much of 2013 despite the Wii being 6 years old with almost no new games because it was still a more appealing system.

I'm really worried that Nintendo will do this again and ruin the good thing they've got going with the Switch by making a huge revolutionary change when all anyone would want is an upgraded Switch that's a generation above the original in horsepower and better joy cons.

Yeah this worries me a lot too. 

All they have to do is make it a standard successor and just call it "Switch 2", it really is that easy, but it's so classically Nintendo to mess up the simplest things and become the architect of their own downfall.
