Nintendo's Next Console: 10 Ways To Blow Switch Out The Water
7. Develop A Dock-Able Handheld Version
In many ways, the Switch Lite is the superior version of the console, despite its handheld-only restrictions.
Extraordinarily cheaper and much more comfortable to hold, not being able to see your games on the big screen is a small price to play for casual gamers. The inability to perform Joy-Con and vibrate-functionality oriented tasks in titles such as Super Mario Odyssey is marginally more annoying.
While the price tag for the Switch Lite is lower in part to justify its inability to connect to the TV, and aims to establish two clear markets for Nintendo's various console strands, there is no technical reason a follow-up system won't be able to remotely "dock" to the television as though it were simply a wireless controller.
The Wii U GamePad and Nintendo DS range prove the benefits of gaming with multiple screens, and touch screen features were sorely missed in a number of Switch titles.
The decision to create a console that could be played on the TV or in one's hands was a stroke of genius, but players should not be punished for wanting comfort, or feel as though they have to dish out nearly £500 for two separate systems, each fulfilling a separate need.
