This is a weird one, but I’d love to see a reimplementation of the sensor bar. The gyro controls haven’t cut it for me. I like how the Wii U game pad had the sensor bar built in to the bezel. The real engineering nightmare would be squeezing IR cameras into the top of the Joycon

Not sure if this counts as a feature, but; more expensive base hardware, less expensive peripherals. I'd legitimately pay like $400 for a top of the line handheld system as long as I could buy a second pair of controllers for less than $50.

I legitimately haven't touched my Switch in like 3 years because of controller drift, and I just can't bring myself to pay $80 for something that seems like it should cost $40. So my PS5 and XSX have pulled my attention away completely.

TotK nearly convinced me to jump back in, but I ultimately decided against it since it didn't seem worth $150 to resume playing the Switch.

They do need to fix the damn controllers, but even if they didn’t drift the sticker are so tiny and it’s not a comfortable controller at all.

I just use then when I need them (for Switch sports, for exemple) but everything else is 8bitdo controllers and the pro controller, which are so much better.
