@subpopz I don't want to see any 'Pro' exclusive games either - all Switch games should run on all Switch versions (current, Pro, mini or any Switch hardware Nintendo decides to bring to market).
Specifically, to clarify my better processor and more RAM wishlist item, I'd like to see this as it will contribute to reducing lag and increasing FPS. I've experienced noticeable FPS drops in some sequences of games - for example in Zelda BotW. While BotW is certainly playable on the current Switch (and it's also my favorite game), more hardware horsepower could provide the "best experience" possible for this game (and many others) that I would expect from a 'Pro' Switch.
I would prefer that Nintendo does not allow for console version exclusive games (i.e. no games should be exclusive to a ‘Pro’, 'Current' or 'Mini' version) - that's a slippery slope especially considering that most buy Nintendo products for first party games. I wouldn't want anyone to be left out on the fun due to the console version they have.
Long time reader and first comment! I had to weigh in on this.
Here are things I think a Switch Pro could include that would make it worth buying (for me anyway) and other value add items that could coincide with a console hardware refresh cycle:
Switch Pro console upgrades wishlist:
-Better processor, more RAM -Better screen -Built in mic on the console -Better wifi antenna as current one is weak -Longer lasting battery (bonus if removable) -Larger internal storage -Truly conform to the USB-C industry standard
Other value add items coinciding with a hardware refresh that all Switch versions could support:
-Release of a new AAA first party title -Ability to cloud backup save data for all games, no exceptions -Ability to message friends through the console -Ability to record gameplay for longer than 30 seconds -Support for Bluetooth headsets -Native voice chat (no one likes the phone app, most use Discord) -A new Pro controller that has built in mic and/or headphone jack -Fix Joy-Con/Pro controller drifting issue -SNES/N64/GameCube games in Nintendo Switch Online -More apps on the Switch (e.g. Netflix, Spotify and others) -UI update where we can create folders to store game icons -If already an online service subscriber, one free month for buying a new Pro/Mini console
Lastly, while I'm not a target for a Switch Mini, I would support its existence.
