If Nintendo had put you in charge of designing the Nintendo Switch, what would you have done differently? Hard mode: It has to start from the same premise of being a hybrid console.
Here's what I'd do (shitty photoshops attached. the real thing would look cooler, this is just to convey the control scheme):
>integrated microphone in the tablet, and 3-ring headphone+microphone jacks in both the tablet and the pro controller
that's literally the best part you nigger
reboot the gameboy advance sp
No photoshops of this one. I can imagine it in one of 3 form factors:
Thoughts?
continued here:
It's a gimmick, adds a lot to the cost, and compromised the controls. All it adds to the package is:
The best part of the Switch was getting home console and portable games on the same platform. You don't need detachable controls for that.
And you gimped that because now you have a fucking foot+ long hunk of controller and screen to carry around. You're shit at product design, get over it and kill yourself.
How about creating a home-only edition of the Switch that is more powerful?
Focus it solely on it being a handheld, give it two screens and a clamshell design.
So make it the n3ds without 3d, a better top screen, another thumb pad (not the nipple), and remove the paid online.
I didn't change the width of the gamepad at all. Pic related is the illustration I edited. The Switch is smaller than a Wii U gamepad and that was already fairly portable. You could even reduce the width if you wanted, now that the detachable controllers, locking mechanisms, and supports for the "tablet" part are gone.
More powerful, no, the whole point is to sell people on the idea that it's a game console that you can take on the go. A cheaper home-only version, however, like the Vita TV, would definitely be a possibility.
That is very delusional. Maybe 1 at that cost, but with the tech it would still probably need to have a start point of 300 since nintendo likes to make a profit on their hardware.
