Would you change anything about the Switch hardware? [roundtable]

How do you guys feel about the choices and tradeoffs Nintendo made in designing the Switch hardware? Hardware, in this case, would include the CPU and graphics processor power, the memory (RAM), the onboard storage, the battery, the charging solution, the screen, the overall size, the game media, the controllers, and even the hybrid nature of the system itself. Assume, for the sake of this discussion, that all hardware works as intended (so no Joy Con issues, bent docks, etc.) and that you still need to come in at the same manufacturing cost. (But you can also discuss the overall price, assuming that it is being sold at or near cost.) What would you change? URL to share (right click and copy)

I love the size of the system. It's perfect. (I'd still buy a Switch XL or Mini, though.) By the way, have you guys actually run out the battery during normal usage yet? I haven't. (My nephew has, though, with a marathon Zelda session.) @VofEscaflowneYeah, the stand is kind of horrendous. @TriforceBunIn my imagination, a folded Switch would look like a giant enemy crab. @deathly_hallowsYou are the 1%. I was once like you... @nate38Ooo, a paddle Joy Con would be badass. And then you could play in vertical mode. And maybe Player 2 could have an asymmetrical role with the other JC. I'd like to see a 2 Player game played in simultaneous cocktail style. Or 4 Player! Warlords! |

1) Fix the Joycon connection issue (seems like it should be licked soon) 2) Change the material the Joycons are made of so the finish doesn't wear off so fast 3) Design a dock that doesn't warp with standard use 4) Glass screen 5) Have the colored Joycon straps actually match the colors of the Joycons 6) Give the kickstand a better angle 7) Charging port on top |

@VofEscaflowneI'm still not sure if I'll get a separate adapter. I'll probably just rip the one out of the dock if I need it. @GuillaumeUnless you made a redundant port, you'd have to dock it upside down. I actually don't think charging while in tabletop is an issue, since tabletop mode is so unsteady that I wouldn't even attempt it. Since a stand is pretty much essential, I'd rather have a stand/mini-dock hybrid. Although it wouldn't function as intended in vertical mode. Maybe there could be a rotating dock/stand? It could encase the system around the bezel. Like the car thing. Have you guys used those flexible metal neck tablet holders? That could work, too. And it would hasten our progress towards our glorious invertebrate Wall-E future. I want to get one of those things, so that my neck isn't always curving forwards. @Kal-El814Did the finish wear off just from holding the Joy Con? A bit of my finish rubbed off, too, but only after two bare Joy Con were rubbing against each other in my jacket pocket all day. I shouldn't talk, though, since the glossy coating is peeling off of the sides of both my PSP and New 3DS. Apparently, my sweat is corrosive. |
