What do you think Nintendo's next console after the Switch would be like? What features and innovations do you think it should have?
Yeah, maybe have it be more like the "New" Nintendo 3DS. I was also thinking of having this ""New" Nintendo Switch" have a second screen accessory (or gimmick) that also allows the console to play DS and 3DS games.It should just be a refinement of the Switch with more horsepower. There's very little you can't do with the Switch in terms of game development, except for VR. So just focus on making the internals more modern and powerful.
Would this "Switch Pro" be like the "New" Nintendo 3DS, a revision of said handheld system?I think we might get a Switch Pro in the future (it could be backward compatible with a lot of the original Switch library, including the NSO content, plus save data transfer from the original Switch console to the pro model), but I don't think we'll expect another console to deliver until sometime around the end of the decade, since the Switch has been selling like hotcakes.
Nintendo was about going to release Switch Pro last year, upgraded one, not next gen but scrapped because of CPU shortage and released OLED version with bigger screen and 2x flash memory.I think we might get a Switch Pro in the future (it could be backward compatible with a lot of the original Switch library, including the NSO content, plus save data transfer from the original Switch console to the pro model), but I don't think we'll expect another console to deliver until sometime around the end of the decade, since the Switch has been selling like hotcakes.

I don't know if Nintendo is going to release a proper upgrade to Switch, not next gen one, but it is continue to have a heavy rumor on this.
Interesting, I haven't see anyone got angry about Nintendo scrapped the true upgrade and Nintendo isn't going to disclose about what is wrong with their company.I thought as well that this was the case but on another boards people get angry with this suggestion.
It would be cursed for sure.They definitely wouldn't call it Nintendo SwitchU.
That why I'm not interested to get PS5 nor Xbox Series X/S.Honestly, my guess is Nintendo has put plans for a new console on hold. Between the chip shortage and pandemic both going on for years now, shipping and supplies for a new system could be a disaster. The Playstation 5 has been on the market for nearly two years, and yet it is still difficult to get a hold of one, and devs have no incentive to make things for it because so few people have it. It would be likely that a new Nintendo console launch could result in a very similar situation.
I'm currently happy with my Switch and new PC so I don't mind if the Switch has a longer lifespan.

I would say until around the end of the decade.Probably 2025 at the earliest
