My thoughts, the screen should fold in half. Protects it, makes it WAY easier to pocket.

I get the Wii U failed, but I personally think it had the most comfortable controller of any Nintendo system. If possible, some additional grip/contour on the back for those with larger hands... That'd be nice.

The Switch launched in a different world. With Steam Decks and ROG Allys etc, they'd better have something huge up their sleeves or prepare to sell them at a dramatic loss.

A DS style switch would be a welcome change but seeing that most companies have now been playing safe by adding only tiny changes every generation, it's highly unlikely that such an idea will see the light of day.

As a person with smaller hands who has purchased a ridiculous amount of Nintendo hardware over the last 25 years, I'll be glad if the Switch 2 is NOT much bigger in the hand than the current unit. I agree that OLED is much better than regular LED (and own 4 regular and 1 OLED Switch now), it's not a deal-breaker for me because my longer sessions are all on a TV anyway. More RAM, a faster chipset, backwards compatible with all the hardware-cartridge games we've already bought? Yes, please, we'll take 2. And at least one more copy of ACNH, maybe two. I hope the high-end Nintendo controllers will remain compatible with Switch 2; we own four or five of those.
And please, please, re-release Endless Ocean for Switch 2! I am seriously considering dragging the Wii out again because it's non-violent Subnautica and I want to play that title again. That, and Walk it Out, which I want to play every winter when cooped up in the house.

I loved the Wii U also and after we move this spring, will set up either the Wii or the Wii U (or maybe both) to play some of the titles that are only out for those two boxes.
