Forums - Nintendo - What Would you Improve on your Nintendo Switch?

Being able to fully shut down the console (not sleep mode) via the Pro Controller.
Please if there is a way to do this let me know. I am over the fact i have to manually hold the console power button down for the option to show.

them scroll wheel triggers.

then again unlike ninty's previous handhelds they can just make new joycons instead of making a new system.

I miss Nintendo's social network so much :(

I really dunno why they ditched it.

They probably ditched it so people will share their captures on more open social network.  Free advertising.

Yeah, but instead I don't post at all now.

More software on the home screen.
Themes.
Better time played log.
Crunchyroll/Amazon Video/YouTube.

Yes, this I forgot. Better is good, so far they have no play log at all. You have the workaround with the parental control app, but that is just not cool.

you know you can see a breakdown of your 20 top games listed on your profile page right? on the right hand side when you click the lil icon in the top left. or is there a more accurate way to see it in breakdowns of more than 5 hour segments?

The lack of a lock screen also means you pretty much are risking your CC by saving the details into your switch since if you lose it an idiot can start buying everything off the eshop before you shut it down from the bank.

What I would like to see is

MP3 playback from the SD card

Youtube

Netflix

Achievements system

An Eshop which is more up to date, a special area or at least some area to highlight special offers now that they've started to come to the switch

a way to organise games other than "last thing you played goes on the left"

an option to move games to and from the system storage, right now they're either on the sd card or internal depending on when you downloaded them, no option to move it

media playback of some kind

Virtual console

To their credit, there is a password option for the store. It's a hassle, though. When you enable it, you need to enter your password just to look at the store. Then again to buy something. God forbid you accidently press the "b" button and back out.

Did you notice... that when you have an item in your basket without going to confirm payment, Nintendo will already have your cash out of your CC if you check online statements at that point in the transaction. (wanted to see would it bring me under a milestone which I like to keep in my account to buy the season pass lol... petty I know when there is thousands in there but still, my OCD was freaking out)

But yeah a simple lock screen like android devices would make me feel infinityly happier about clicking that save option for my CC details, as it stands now I just can't do it, system isn't safe in that regards without making it overly annoying for use, considering I go between the 3 eshops every time I take a look at what's coming up.
