I'd like it to be modern. Up to date specs that can have games that look good, rather than releasing dated hardware at launch.
I'd like a console only version without a screen, like how the PSVita had the Vita TV. I have no interest in a portable Nintendo, I only play docked.
The ability to play old games on it. Switch games at the very least, but similar to wanting a console only version, add a disc tray and let me play GCN and Wii.
The unfortunate thing for your desires is that portability is the reason the Switch has been so successful, and is also the reason it doesn't have "modern" specs. I'm sure the next system will be much more powerful, but I'm also sure it won't even be near the power of the PS5 or XSX because I am 100% sure it will still be a console that can be played on the go.
Thankfully as home consoles have much more transparently become purpose-built PCs using variations on off the shelf hardware, ratcheting down graphics to function on a lower power system isn't nearly as hard as it used to be.
It sounds like you basically just don't want a switch. The reason the switch has done so well is because of the portability and ability to easily dock and "switch" between modes. If you want a traditional console, that has a disk tray, and tons of power, you should consider a playstation or xbox. Additionally I am very supportive of backwards compatibility but at this point, the GCN would be 4 generations (going to be 25 years on switch 2 release) back and having to put in hardware to be backwards compatible that far back I think is unreasonable.
Pretty much, I don't want a Switch. But I'm required to have one to play Nintendo games legally. Considering how little I play my Switch I think I'm just going to wait and see how emulation for Switch 2 goes.
Well that's part of their value prop, their games. Clearly it's working as it got you to purchase a switch when you don't really like the concept.
Yeah but it's solidified that I won't be doing it again. Switch emulation is brilliant, with another underpowered Switch console I don't doubt emulation will be easy.
My number 1, must have feature is for the system to be portable. Hopefully that goes without saying.
If I was to ask for a new feature, it would be some sort of off the wall, possibly stupid gimmick. The WiiU tablet controller, despite being a total flop commercially, spawned some really cool, asymmetric games. Nintendo is at their best when they are being creative with their hardware. They can make up for a lack of pure computing power by providing experiences that you could not have on any other system.

I’d love for the Dock itself to be way shorter, and not go up the entire height of the console. AKA I’m tired of my Switch screen getting scratched every damn time it goes in or out of the dock.

The ability to use another console as a controller for game menus and asymmetrical gameplay.
I just miss the 3DS.
1080p handheld/4K on TV
Windwaker remastered 😏
Twilight Princess remastered!
A link to the past remastered!

I want an easily-exploited OS for CFW.
I don't think we'll ever have anything like the switch V1, it's not just very easy but also has crazy possibilities, I use Android on mine all the time, and it works perfectly like it isn't even a hack, even seamlessly booting from one to another system, Nintendo will probably be a lot more careful next time, we'll probably have cfw in the next one but I think it's gonna take a long time and won't be nowhere good as switch is
~~WiFi AX, Gigabit Ethernet on the dock, and~~ ATMOS Surround support or bust. ~~Would be obsolete off the batt to me without.~~
~~There's three features I know but, I stand.~~
Suppose there's no point to newer network standards for Nintendo because Nintendo -.-
please have a headphone jack. idk if this is something we need to actually worry about...but i really dislike that newer phones keep omitting the headphone jack. bluetooth just isn't the same!
But the right joy-con already has a IR-Camera.
I'd like the sensor bar too. Rail shooters just do not feel the same trying it with gyro, since the positioning is off relative to the screen without a reference point. Sensor bar made it more like using those arcade light guns.
