Been thinking about it recently, and I honestly feel that the Switch is probably the perfect console form factor. Obviously, physical specifications can be improved (faster processor, more battery life), but in terms of the form factor itself, it’s so balanced in the way you can play it on a big screen and handheld

I don’t think Nintendo would ever move away from this model, but thinking ahead (even after a potential Switch 2), how could Nintendo evolve beyond this type of form factor? Or is this perhaps the peak of this type of design and we’re just getting improved specs/minor ergonomic changes from here on out (which I’d be totally fine with)?

    I’ve never had this much trouble from a Nintendo console. Don’t get me wrong I love the switch, but the controllers are broken. I know Nintendo fixes them for free but doesn’t change the fact they are super broken. Playing TOTK with drift is garbage.

      This is why you should support Right to Repair!

      At our shop, I replaced the sticks in quite a few sets of joycons, and they’re also not difficult to replace yourself.

      IIRC we sources replacements from iFixit, but we also sourced a lot of parts from MobileDefenders and MobileSentrix.

        I picked up some hall effect joysticks replacements and they are lovely. Would highly recommend them to anyone to elimite drift once and for all
