Nintendo Switch 3.0 update Wish list

THE ABILITY TO TRANSFER SAVES!!!
There's really the most important element, and everything else seems trivial in comparison.

4K. You've seen the specs right?

For static pictures and text, of fucking course this hardware can handle it. OP isn't asking for 4K rendering, just a cleaner UI.

What resolution does the OS run at currently while docked?
720p.
 
It would be nice to set a default user so I don't have to get asked which one to use every time I start a game or the eShop. Users should be able to have passwords set on them too, lest save data get tampered with.

Out-of-region eShops should accept more foreign credit cards.

Cloud saves and web browser are probably the big ones for me. Not because I want a web browser for browsing but for the neat added features it resulted in for the WiiU e.g streaming and direct image uploads.

I want it to have a browser and a few streaming apps like YouTube and Netflix and cloud saves instead of just on the console.

If I recall correctly the Switch was only HDMI 1.4, thus 4K at 30fps only. So I don't think it would be a good idea for the UI (it would lose the smoothness of movement in transitions and such).

They could enable it for an hypothetical Netflix or video app though.

Ohhh this is a really good point. Fml

Browser, cloud saves, and video apps(Netflix, Amazon, Crunchyroll, etc). Didn't know the OS was only 720p docked, put that up to 1080p at least.
 
Parental controls based on what account is playing, not overall controls for everyone. I want to set parental controls for my 2 kids' accounts, but to do so, I have to set them for everyone. I want per-user parental controls.
 
720p docked and undocked.

Holy shit, is this why I can't set the output to 1080p on my display? They really need to add in support for unsupported 1080p displays and also 1080p menus and UI badly. This is my biggest gripe with the system.

My PS4, Xbone S, and even the fucking Wii U support 1080p on my Dell 2407WFP 24" LCD. It's annoying as fuck that the Switch only does 720p on it.

  • Activity Log (A La 3DS)
  • Internet browser
  • Full friend's list and party chat functionality on-device instead of on a phone
  • Cloud save games
  • 1080p/4K Home Screen rendering
  • Folders
  • A better, more efficient menu layout for when you have a shit ton of things (this goes with folders)
  • Better eShop functionality--gifting, music, etc.
  • Built-in messaging/game invite system
  • Anything else I forgot to add

That's about it.

it should output the resolution you choose but the UI is rendered at 720p which means it'll upscale that image.

A download queue, please!
yes 👍🏾

What resolution is the Wii U interface?
Guess not
 
- A way to send a simple text messages to friends. The least they can do. Xbox Live has done this since 2000 ish. Within the actual system not just via an app.

- I want video/movie apps like Netflix and Crunchyroll

All I can think of right now, but to me those are important.

  • The ability to add a description on your profile for friend requests to be a bit less anonymous.
  • Eshop cart (and music pls)
  • Show as online even when you're not playing games
  • Some at least basic messaging capabilities with friends.

Cloud saves number one. My Switch is playing up already and it looks like I'll lose my BotW progress if I have to exchange.

A social pane that involves no more friend codes and does involve messaging and an activity feed where you can post text, screenshots and eShop recommendations that you think your friends will like.

The best thing about this is that Nintendo can hear all this feedback and use it as Switch hype in a Direct or even at E3.

- Web browser (it's already there, just add user interface)
- Add friends by username
- Transfer saves to/from micro SD

The option to see controller battery level when I hit the home button, rather than hitting the home button, go to controller setting and then seeing the battery level.

The option to transfer save data to the micro SD card.

The option to turn the system off with the controller rather than having to get up and hold the power button.

Bluetooth earphone support is my undoubted number 1 wish.

Feature parity with the N3DS such as -
Browser
Streaming video apps (Youtube, but also Amazon, NowTV & Netflix)
NNID Search
Some kind of messaging
Themes
 
What I want is:

- Activity Log
- Music for OS
- Darker brightness settings
- PNG (or higher quality in general) option for screenshots
- Online status for in OS, not just games
- Messaging

External hard drive support

...hate me...
*handheld mirroring option on TV mode
*low and high power options on handheld mode

+ a lot of shit you guys already said

Gonna be an interesting journey for sure to see the features evolve. And an aggravating one when they don't add/fix simple stuff. The whole eShop stuff is crazy. No cart is absurd.
