Nintendo Switch: 10 Console Features It Desperately Needs

5. An All-New Social Hub (The Return Of Miiverse?)

Social features are slowly becoming a much more important feature for consoles, of which the Switch currently has next to none.

This exclusion is felt even harder due to the removal of Miiverse, which wasn't the most advanced social community on the market, but it was full of life and humour, really uniting all users across Nintendo as a platform. The use of pictures and stickers also made it entirely unique as a social hub.

Whilst the reintroduction of Miiverse would be ideal, it's highly unlikely that it will happen. Instead, Nintendo should introduce a brand new social hub that brings together all of the best features of Miiverse whilst introducing new elements. This would also involve getting rid of Friend Codes, one of the most obtuse features that Nintendo seem to keep including.

Having a new community would really help Nintendo market their console better, as well as hopefully getting rid of the god-awful friend codes.
