      TBF, doing the same thing a second time but better is not Nintendo’s MO. Theres usually either a new gimmick or form factor, or it’s just a refresh of equivalent hardware. The New 3DS was an outlier in that respect.

        While they do like to mix things up on occasion they have there fair share of consoles that feel like iterations on a theme.

        • NES>SNES
        • N64>GameCube
        • GB>GBA
        • DS>3DS

        With official announcements of a Switch successor including continuing software compatibility it seemed likely that it would keep the general form factor.

            Branding aside, the GameCube had:

            • four controller sockets built into the console
            • a media format with much lower capacity than the competition
            • a controller with one primary thumbstick and two primary face buttons.

            These feel like vestigial N64 features

            Edit: and three shoulder/trigger buttons!
