Nintendo Switch: What we want to see in the new version (CNET Top 5)

2018-10-29
these are the top five features we want in a new Nintendo switch there was a report by The Wall Street Journal that said Nintendo will release a new version of the Nintendo switch in the far-off year of 2019 I know that all kinds of news reports pop up from time to time but this is the Wall Street Journal and it's got a pretty good track record so let's talk about what we want to see and number five is more battery life this is number five because the switch has ok battery life already and is easily charged thanks to its USBC connector there are also lots of battery packs available for the switch all that being said the switch is marketed as a device that can be taken wherever you go Nintendo says the switch can last around six hours but that's a best-case scenario more battery life is always great for any portable device Nintendo make it happen coming at number four is a time better joy cons and Bluetooth you know what would be nice on a joy con how about a traditional d-pad sometimes the joy con controls don't cut it when a traditional d-pad would be great on the matter of Bluetooth no one is saying to get rid of the headphone jack keep that just add Bluetooth audio to the switch right now you have to be tethered to the switch if you want to keep your game play quiet number three is more onboard storage yes you can add more storage using a microSD card but did you know that reports dating back to 2017 say that load times are fastest using the internal storage yep I don't know about you but when a game takes too long to load it takes me out of the game even if load times were equal having more space to download more games would be very useful also storage gets cheaper as time goes on 2019 could easily see Nintendo doubling up storage without any price increase that brings us to number two which is a better screen the Nintendo switch has a 6.2 inch 720p LCD screen if you want to see a game run a 1080p resolution you'll have to dock the switch maybe a higher resolution screen would be good but that would require improved internals Nintendo is also using some older screen technologies in its which moving towards something like a smartphone display could allow the switch to be thinner brighter and potentially more power efficient the Journal report says the new switch will probably not have an OLED screen but we can dream and at number one is refined overall design let's put up some video of the Nintendo switch take a good look at it okay now let's take a detour let's look at huawei's mate 20x the thing fits a 7.2 inch screen in a body with minimal bezels Huawei even showed off how to attach a controller to the mate 20x and compared it to the Nintendo switch the may 20 X had a larger screen larger battery better screen resolution and claimed 6.67 hours of gaming life now Nintendo doesn't have to copy Huawei completely but slimming down the bezels and the entire body would help him making the switch more pocketable that would be great thanks to Jeff Bakalar Liz Romero Scott Stine and Brian Van Gelder for their help on this episode can we miss anything let us know am i as Zack tyre and I'll see you online
