Happy four-year Switchaversary! We can't believe Nintendo's little hybrid/home console has gotten this old. When the Wii U turned four, it was just about lights out for that console. With this many years of Switch under our belts, we wanted to discuss the Dos and Don'ts of Console Design. Creating a console is a juggling act for Nintendo... power, but not too much. Cheap materials, but not so cheap that durability is sacrificed. Many other factors go into the Research and Development that results in the Nintendo systems we know and love. Where has Nintendo nailed it in the past, and where have they missed the mark? From our perspective, what needs to be changed and done differently on the rumored "Switch Pro"? Listen in for Scott's and Glen's thoughts.
