Nintendo Switch Pro: 10 Improvements It Desperately Needs
10. Cheaper, More Portable Dock
As far as this list goes, the want for a cheaper, more portable dock is perhaps the least dramatic and pressing matter. A gaming first world problem, if you like.
However, the merit of having a dock that you can throw in your bag or pop in your pocket and take away with you is plain to see.
At the moment, if you want to play big screen Switch in another room, you either have the inconvenience of detaching your console’s accompanying dock and reattaching it elsewhere or buying an expensive second.
While other, third party docks are available, they are often plagued by reports of ‘bricked’ consoles and damaging reviews, and this is a risk most Switch owners don’t want to take.
With that in mind, if Nintendo were to provide a cheaper alternative, there’s no reason every household couldn’t have a set up comprised of two or even three docks, enhancing the console’s portable, hybrid appeal.
Many believe the absence of such a convenient addition to the Switch set up is a glaring omission. So surely, come the next generation, the Switch’s dock will emerge refined and more affordable.
