Nintendo's upcoming Switch 2 maintains its hybrid design but introduces enhanced graphics, a larger screen, and new Joy-cons with mouse-like functionality. This feature could enable innovative gameplay experiences and new game genres. A key feature from the Wii U, Miiverse, allowed players to share hand-drawn sketches and messages. This social network was discontinued in 2017 and was not included in the original Switch, limiting community interaction. With the Switch 2's new capabilities, there are hopes for a revival of Miiverse or similar features. Players could share drawings in games like Animal Crossing or Mario, fostering a sense of community and personal connection.
