The original specifications are not all

Rumors about the long-term desire to upgrade the Nintendo Switch have been circulating for some time. This week,

Reported that this legendary new Switch

.

According to the report, the upgraded Switch obviously has a 7-inch 720p OLED screen that can output 4K graphics when connected to a TV. The OLED screen will be a major upgrade to the LCD of the Switch and Switch Lite, and may provide deeper colors and deeper blacks. 4K output will also be a huge leap. Now the current switch

When connected to a TV.

But many of us are

Still quite like our existing Switch, even the Switch in release mode that we first launched this week four years ago. The changes we are keen on are not necessarily OLED screens or other features. (Actually, it might be annoying if the extra features lead to exclusive games on Switch Pro

And the new Nintendo 3DS. ) Although people always hope for longer battery life, we mainly hope that it will not fall below the minimum standard of Nintendo

This is our list.

The Joy-Con controller of Switch has an innovative design and provides more ways to play the console

A convenient way to install two controllers in each box and have a very unreliable thumbstick, many users report

As time goes by. Nintendo

Regarding what seems to be a widespread problem, but the company

For users with problems. Nintendo has also not used the release of Switch Lite and the second version of the current Switch to solve the drift problem, so they are still in progress-this may be another opportunity for Nintendo to make the right choice.

Other changes may just make Joy-Cons a better controller. Place the real D-pad on the Joy-Con on the left, similar to the one on the D-pad

, The current four-button design of the left Joy-Con may make playing platform games and fighting games much easier than mixing and matching the left Joy-Con. A slightly larger shoulder trigger makes the Switch easier to hold in your hand. And I really want more colors-maybe Nintendo can provide

How do I decorate my Switch and its Joy-Con when I buy it?

Using Bluetooth headsets on the Switch is very difficult: you have to buy a third-party Bluetooth adapter and plug it into the headphone jack, the USB-C port of the console or the Switch's docking station. (although

, The Switch has never provided Bluetooth audio support. )

The demand for Bluetooth audio is so strong that the entire home application of third-party adapters has sprung up-just search for "Nintendo Switch Bluetooth Adapter"

To see some of the many available products. However, even if you purchase these adapters, most of them stick out awkwardly from the console's USB-C port, requiring you to remove them to charge, and some feel that they might break if you don't pay attention.

The Switch with native Bluetooth headset support is particularly suitable for playing in bed, without the need for additional dongle or wired earplugs.

We really like it

On Xbox Series X/S, it allows you to switch between games without having to start the game from the beginning and then go back to where you left off. We think the Switch will indeed benefit from similar features, especially because it has so many games that you can jump in for a few minutes at a time. Imagine jumping around from your friend’s house

, Instead of having to wait for the game to cold start every time-sounds good, right?

First of all, it is a good idea to use the current Switch bracket, but in fact, it is not as useful as we hoped. It's small, unstable, it can only be stuck at an angle, and the frightening thing is that it breaks quite easily (although it's easy to wear). This means that the stand works best on a flat and stationary surface with only one angle-for many situations where we actually want to stand the Switch (such as on an airplane or in the back seat of a car), the stand is not that good .

One thing many of us really want is for Nintendo to use bigger,

. This not only makes the console stand up more stably, but it can also be adjusted to many different perspectives, which is really convenient for things like back seats.

The current Switch has a plastic screen that is easily scratched-many

The employee immediately took a cheap tempered glass screen protector on the console to avoid permanent wear. Many of us hope that Nintendo will add a glass screen to this new model to make it more scratch-resistant, so we don't need to add our own glass screen.

Hope that a larger screen means that we will also see smaller bezels, which will give the console a higher quality. The current Switch has a huge black border, how much space can be displayed

Still filled by the screen. Moreover, if you are using a smaller Nintendo Switch Lite screen, the frame will not stand out, which makes the smaller size of the Lite screen less obvious.

The Switch’s current docking station works well enough-it provides a place to charge the Switch and can help the console connect to the TV-but we want it to be smaller (if it is smaller) and have magnets to make the Switch even more It is safe and has a built-in Ethernet port, because plugging a USB-A into an Ethernet adapter for wired Internet connection is a clumsy solution.

Nintendo is not known for its easy-to-remember hardware names. This is the company that marks the new console generation

, Released a section called

, And released a smaller version of Switch that actually cannot be completely "switched".

Although it seems that Nintendo may just call it "Switch Pro" or "Switch Plus", or maybe "Super Nintendo Switch", we think we also came up with some names that Nintendo can now throw into the trash can. :

Nintendo Switch is four years old this week, and there is no Netflix application yet. 4K-enabled switches may add potential features, which means we will eventually be able to watch
