Seeing as they are going with carts instead of discs, they should take advantage of the medium and put chips within the carts to augment the system's power, like they did with the Super NES!
I would like to see a left Joycon with a d-pad where the stick currently is. I would be pretty happy with a cheap 3rd party one that lacked HD rumble and motion that I could use for retro games and Virtual Console.
I'd also like a grip which could be separated to fit in my case and an HDMI dongle for connecting to screens away from home.
I'd take 3rd party hardware for all of these things as long as it was decent quality.
I don't think we'll see much beyond maybe some different kinds of JoyCon. Definitely different colour variations, hopefully ones with D-Pads and the like. Those things would fly off the shelf.

Yeah, not going to happen. The reason why they existed on the SNES was because the only way to get decent performance out of hardware back then was to have specialised chips. These days doing it that way would just add too much complexity. Everything is done on either the CPU or GPU. Also, if the cartridges held enhancement chips how would you distribute the games digitally?

"Don't stir the pot" is a nice way of saying "they're too dumb to reason with"
I don't know if there will be enough games in the genre to warrant one, but I'd like to see a fight pad. Come May I'd love to have one for Ultra Street Fighter II.
The biggest item on my wishlist is a "Gamepad" style controller that only receives data from the Switch when docked for asynchronous "Wii U" style multiplayer (complete with microphone and camera, both of which are absent from the Switch). Surely they'd be cheap enough now to manufacture and sell for under $100 (the 8GB Wii U Skylanders bundle was available for only AU$180 at one point and that included Nintendo Land as well). I suppose a second Switch unit can be used to fulfil this very purpose, but AU$469 is much too expensive to make the Switch a dual-screen experience.
If 4v4 wireless multiplayer is possible with just two Switch consoles, then I'll definitely consider grabbing another one (and double-dipping on certain games).
"Gee, that's really persuasive. Do you have any actual points to make other than to essentially say 'me Tarzan, physical bad, digital good'?"
Maybe have an bluetooth connections to all the 3rd party and old Wii controllers as well support bluetooth earphone. But I can see why they didn't include any of them since voice chat going be on the smart devices.
I would like to use my bluetooth headphone to listen to the game since I tend increase the volume loud.
