A Nintendo Switch 2 could be on the way, so here's what we've heard and think we know.

tl;dr/saved you a click: most of what is said in the article is pure conjecture and fluff to hide they barely know anything

Ah so it’s one of those typical SEO websites to show you ads and provide nothing of value.

Recipe for a great super switch

  • More Power

  • More Battery

  • Sell me better joycons. I don't care if it makes it less portable. I want a better joystick.

  • Backwards Compatible (lol)

  • A full fledge web browser and other os luxuries

Personally I dont need a web browser, but there are “OS luxuries” I’d like to see. That includes having the game chat features built into the Switch rather than shipping a seperate mobile app, and more focus on Bluetooth capabilities such as more scope to support concurrent devices (2x audio headsets with 2 pairs of JoyCon, for 2 player gaming on the go).

Why would you need a web browser?

Makes cloud gaming and other entertainment venues more accessible outside the walled garden.

Im pretty sure Nintendo has decided against a browser. Keeping a browser up to date, compatible and secure is a pretty big job these days.

Considering that the browser has been a point of ingress for hacking their devices several times and that use is minimal we won't see a full browser any time soon unless something has really changed on the management team of the switch os recently

As far as os features go, propper folders and sorting options on par with the 3DS would be higher on my list.

Don't get me wrong, personally I could see a lot of use cases for streaming video etc... But I don't think it is a realistic wish at this point.

Well damn, I was just trying to have some fun and spread wishful thinking conversation around a successor.

Probably better to post it as a discussion, rather than a link to an article, given there's no news or anything.

This. I bet lemmings (this is the correct term. Fite me!) Can come up with 1) better guesses and 2) back these guesses better up with market and production understanding then most of these techsites generating clicks for minimal effort articles.
