@MarioBrickLayer I do think so. Not a huge jump, but then at least it's on par with the multitude of smartphones releasing nowadays that also have a Full HD screen. I also think it's a great selling point for the current Switch audience whose games would simply look better. It's easy to underestimate the potential of that particular feature with this setup. Consoles and TVs tend to develop in parallel, but an old console will look more or less the same on a higher resolution television because it's the same output. Now we would have an older generation of 720 games that have the potential to look 'upgraded' on a newer system (in handheld mode at least).
If it ain't broke, don't fix it. The hybrid format is doing Nintendo wonders at the moment. I would gladly see a Switch 2, though Nintendo is not one for direct sequels. Hoping for Full HD in handheld mode and in-dock upscaling to 4K (I don't expect native 4K, something in-between perhaps). It would do the current library wonders as they would instantly be 'upgraded' on the new system regardless of mode.
Apologies if I've missed someone mentioning this in the comments. In terms of NES Remix, I think there's a big opportunity being missed here for the same game to be released à la Tetris 99 for the online subscribers, seems like a great addition to me, perhaps with a SNES Remix down the line to match the current lineup.
