Nintendo Switch Lite and Future Revisions
Stratos:
I hope the mini model can connect as a controller to a docked Switch. That would further justify double dipping as a new controller and allow for DS/WiiU emulation and docked games with touch controls.
Spak-Spang:
You know I think that the HD rumble is blown out of proportion. They said the controllers won't have it. IF the controllers are connected to the main unit, it would make sense to move any HD humble into the center of the unit. or possibly on the edge of the screen if they wanted to still give you 2 HD rumbles for backwards compatibility. But something tells me you probably only really need one.
As for the not being able to be docked, this doesn't make sense. Doesn't the Switch only Dock via a USB C port that it also uses for charging? If that Is true, it makes no sense to cut that feature. However. like everyone else said it would make sense to not have it come with a dock. The form factor might make it impossible to dock with the current docks, however, they could just give you cord that does the same thing as a dock.
I have to say I am very interested in the mini model, and I hope they don't do a Pro-model this year. I think the Switch Mini could propel the Switch into the portable realm and help Nintendo for another year or 2. Then they could properly make a more powerful Switch Pro closer to the competition's new consoles.
Spak-Spang:
Is it possible to instead of using a circle pad, just sinking a full analog stick into the controller to make it almost flush with the controller? The Circle Pad always felt Cheap and imprecise. It was a good intermediate solution but it hasn't actually fixed the problem.
ThePerm:
As far as removing rumble goes. I don't see much of an issue if you can still bluetooth connect others.

They could still make a mini connect to a tv and charge without a dock like a Sega Nomad. It could still have USB C and maybe an HDMI mini connector. The Dock is just a piece of plastic with not too much to it.

is much cheaper than all the added cost that dock makes.
How mini could they get away making the switch?
Spak-Spang:
I always wanted a Gameboy Micro. I think if they want to go small the clamshell design is best. That could even work with a kind of self docked mode.
