You clearly don't have the technical understanding for this conversation, looking at other systems and games is irrelevant.

Twice the performance = twice the framerate (with nothing else changed). Yes a Switch now that is twice the power of the one released almost 5 years ago is perfectly possible.

I probably have only 2 real issues, and 1 minor issue.
First, joy-con drift is THE biggest issue I have with the system. I never use my back up joycons because I worry they will just drift in a matter of hours.
Second, I just want better performing games. Not better looking. I am fine if Nintendo games never look better (which they will in time of course), I just want quicker loading times and 60fps.

The minor issue is folders... Just would be nice to organize.

For me, the main problem is the lack of some features that were really good on the WiiU/3DS. Menu folders, a controller with a built in microphone and audio and I may be one of the few that actually miss the opportunity of having asynchronous gameplay, a feature wich i feel will be welcome on the occasional Switch 2.

Besides that, i miss "Nintendo Selects" discounts in million sellers games. It wouldnt hurt discount games like Pikmin or Fire Emblem for example, that dont have great legs like Mario Kart or Breath of the Wild's, but Nintendo is being very greedy this gen.

They also need to revision the way they're handling their Online service. The way it is now, theres not a lot of reason to buy the expansion pack, as a lot of the games are buggy or ported badly, and the pricing is outrageous, and overall theres just a massive lack of content.

There's a lack of games that I care about. I wouldn't call it a lack of games in general though. I want more 2D and 3D Mario, and a new Mario Kart. I buy Nintendo systems for Mario, Zelda, and Kart. I don't think has enough of any of those games other than Zelda. Even then, I have no interest in playing retreads from previous systems, and I played BotW on WiiU, so I could argue it hasn't been great on Zelda either.

The lack of a new Mario Kart has got to be the biggest slap in the face. In my opinion. I'm a Nintendo loyalist that bought the Wii U. For my loyalty, I am punished with a lack of new games.

The console’s modest price is offset by rather expensive software, and it’s lack of computational power makes some games look poor on a 4k television.


These are minor quibbles though. No one else takes the handheld market seriously so Nintendo gets big kudos for that.

I have a lot of issues with it. Selfishly, I won't say Joy Con Drift because it hasn't directly affected me yet.
It's the lack of retro games to me. How has the GameCube still been ignored? We had the lifespan of the Wii U and now almost 5 years of the Switch without GameCube Virtual Console games. I'd rather play them on Switch than bust out the old GameCube or buy ones I don't have that are expensive.
There are a lot of NES and SNES games on Switch, but there are some notable titles missing like the first two Mother games. The N64 games aren't worth the premium subscription price to me. Add GB, GBC, GBA, and GameCube games (and maybe even some Wii titles as an added bonus) and I'll have little to complain about in retro games available on Switch.
I have other issues like the garbage online. Either improve it or make it free. $20 is steep for what the online is.

Looking at other system is actually way more relevant than you think.

The problem is the bandwidth, that's the most limiting part of the Switch's hardware. And to reach level of performance when you can actually deliver 60fps in an open world, a mobile SoC still doesn't cut. 

Yes the Apple M1 chip can now deliver 200Gb/s, but that's way more expensive than anything we can actually expect from a Switch 2.

I would instantly buy a console edition, even if the only difference is always running at full speed, docked mode. However I would also pay for a premium version where everything is doubled CPU, bandwidth, GPU and a nifty SSD for storage. Dunno why Nintendo is ignoring the "just want to play on a tv" crowd. I never use the switch in handheld mode.

I don't think they ignore them (for eg Bowser's Fury runs at 60fps on TV but at 30 on handheld mode), it's just that what was still acceptable early 2017 isn't anymore late 2021 I guess.

But I still enjoy a lot of my Switch games that other people call "shit looking"

This just isn't true. Tegra X2 which was developed in 2016 had double the bandwidth of the Tegra X1. So if bandwidth in X1 is capable of running a piece of software at 30fps then doubling it can run it at 60fps.

It is more than viable now to create a device that performs twice as fast as the original Switch in every aspect, and thus twice the framerate and 60fps BOTW2.
