The Nintendo Switch has been released since March 3rd, 2017, and it's still going great. It was first unveiled on October 20, 2016, codenamed "NX". There has been some news and rumors about the Switch's successor going around. But it's sort of hard to believe them.
The Switch is a great console, and it still is. Especially since we can play home console games on the go. But comparing it to past Nintendo consoles, it has many upgrades and some downgrades. Some downgrades, I feel, are features removed from the Wii and Wii U, like messaging your friends and easily using an internet browser. You can go on the web with the Switch, but it's a hidden feature. One of the small features I miss is a splash screen for when you start a game or app. I also miss being able to play online for free. But there's probably some good reasons why those weren't part of the Switch.
One big feature I wish would make a comeback is backwards compatibility. The GameCube can play Game Boy games, the Wii can play GameCube games, and the Wii U can play Wii games with a partially complete and enhanced Wii menu. Also, the Game Boy Advance can play the original Game Boy and Game Boy Color games; the original DS and DS Lite can play Game Boy Advance games; and the 3DS can play DS games. But the Switch doesn't really have backwards compatibility; instead, it has remastered versions of some games from the past. I hope the next Nintendo system will make it possible to play every game all the way back to the Game Boy and GameCube with complete features and enhanced gameplay. But I don't mind if we have to go back and play on our old consoles. I sometimes still play my Wii, Wii U, GBA, and DS.
What are some features you wish the future Nintendo console(s) would have and bring back? Do you also still play games from the past? No ROMs and unofficial emulators!
