RTXGI was designed to performant RTGI like what you see in Indiana Jones.

- VRR 40 fps because 30fps Zelda sucks
- analogue triggers on at least the Pro Controller. Leaving that out is a extremely dumb decision.
- ability to easily add and message friends

With RT, yes, that is a problem. And being an SoC, it's probable that it won't have many RT units, forcing the use of low RT quality settings.
But DLSS is a net positive. It can be used to upscale and gain performance, or used as DLAA, and be used as a high quality temporal AA.

I would buy a Switch 2 for that alone.

The main thing for me is probably for it to keep up with the improvements in loading times on other platforms.
I was playing CTR on Switch the other day and I’d honestly label that game as basically unplayable.. I just couldn’t take all that waiting.
DLSS is another thing, but I just assume that’s a given at this point. Also hoping the rumors of Hall Effect sticks are true.
Oh, and I’d love it if they found a way to bring back IR pointer controls as an option instead of gyro for stuff like Splatoon.

I'm easy to please. I just want hardware backwards compatibility and upgraded specs. Games on physical carts. Things like that. That's really it - though I wouldn't snub my nose at further enhancements.

I want the pro controller available day 1 and if a game requires the use of joycons then I hope they will be of higher quality. The joysticks feel so cheap on the Switch

Someone is doind what Nintendo Should have done long time ago with Switch
There has GOT to be some weird downside to this. Why hasn't it been done everywhere already?

VRR screen ( IPS please, I am not fan of OLED )
DLSS
Hall effect sticks.
by default a bit more powerful. if it can reach PS4 level with DLSS enabled ( meaning PS4 graphical details at 720p then upscaled to DLSS, I am good ).
to me Nintendo has been always the must have second system. used to be along with the Playstation console, but now with the PC.

Hellz yes to Hall effect everything.
As for the rest, the modular setup is a cool idea, but it plays much better on a fully customizeable platform like PC than it would in a console. Consoles, for better or for worse, count on a standardized experience for both hardware and controls. Nintendo would be better off creating reversible joycon with an analogue stick on one end and a touchpad on the other (which would, as a bonus, give every player a form of dual analogue in single-joycon play, not that Nintendo cares about that).
WITH THAT SAID, to more or less completely contradict myself, Nintendo does have a patent (https://www.freepatentsonline.com/20160231773.pdf) filed way back when "NX" discussions were a thing that would allow them to implement a form of dirt cheap swappable controls without any electronic components. The patent basically covers a device using internal cameras/sensor to track reflective components in a completely non-powered attachment and interpret these as game inputs. Back in the day, a lot of people assumed this was how the Joycon would work, but I think the only things Nintendo really used this for was Labo and Ring Fit.
All this to say, Nintendo could potentially use a camera or a linear image sensor like the one they already have in the joycons to track the internals of cheap, swappable components. Buttons, joysticks, or even a "touchpad" should be possible if they do it right. There might be limits on the technology--too inaccurate, adds too much latency, etc.--but, in theory, there is nothing stopping them from pursuing similar functionality to the AYANEO 3 in a very Nintendo way (i.e. using withered technology + a sideways approach). It would also allow for much more custom replacement hardware from 3rd party accessory manufacturers and users with 3D printers and an imagination, which, sadly, is probably the real reason they'd never want to do it.

I think this is just a Columbu's Egg

Added manufacturing complexity and cost, plus a risk of being stuck with excess components if it doesn't sell I'd guess. You're essentially manufacturing a bunch of mini controllers that plug into the shell using a proprietary connector. What happens if it doesn't sell or even if one of the little add-on components proves unpopular? Though, for someone as big as Nintendo, Sony, or Microsoft though, you'd think it wouldn't be that significant of a risk.
There could also be a patent issue. *shrug*

Ayaneo is bigger than Sony and Nintendo?
Cause they did it...

They make more money selling you the pair of Joycons… Thats why.

Not at all. Like I said, it wouldn't or shouldn't be a significant risk for a company that size. Then again, it's somewhat apples to oranges (both in terms of hardware and audience demands and expectations) when comparing a premium PC handheld costing upwards of $1000 with a standard console and controller.
It could be a Columbus' egg situation as you said; I'm just spit balling other reasons why those companies might not want to invest in a similar setup. Point of fact, barring legal hurdles like an AYANEO patent, the most likely reason would be that they just don't see it as a desirable enough feature to their customers to be worth investing in.

An online system that carries forward purchases. I’m such a funny guy, that’s not happening.

HDR, VRR, DLSS, USB storage support, 7.1 support

HDD support for the dock via usb 3.1 could be a great idea.

As long as the game cards don't require installs. I got a lot of milage out of the 32GB when the Switch launched because I bought mainly physical games and kinda just waited until SD card prices dropped a bit.

My wish list:
nice OLED screen with VRR
Dont do anything weird- needs a headphone jack for instance (I shouldn't have to say this)
MEGA WISH I know I wont get- would be a user replaceable battery
A capable GPU and CPU so we will at LEAST see downgraded ports of games from this gen (Series S has kept the base bar pretty low but also shown you can get OK results at a low resolution without much grunt)
Performance / graphics boost for switch 1 games ( or at least docked level in handheld mode as others have said)
A better online experience - nough said there....
Keep the things which are good THE SAME- cartridges which load quickly, machine turns on quickly, no BS.

I wouldn't rule it out. given how EU regulations get tighter around this (soon all smart phones need to have a user replaceable battery for example) it wouldn't surprise me if you could replace it by simply unscrewing the back like on a 3DS.

I'm surprised nobody here or elsewhere is pushing for the Switch 2 to have better wifi signal and speeds because the OG is absolutely terrible in that respect. I have my Switch one room away from my router and it never gets more than 1/2 bars of signal, while the speed is around 30mbps despite every other device getting the 300mbps they're supposed to. Even when I had the router in the same room as the Switch, the speed was negigibly faster. Getting ~10% of the wifi speed it should is ridiculous and unless my experience is a complete outlier, I'm amazed it isn't talked about more when it comes to areas for Switch 2 to seriously improve.
You nailed it for the first two. Analogue triggers and halls effect sticks would be perfect.
VRR / 120fps support for 40FPS Zelda/Mario/3D first party feels so very Nintendo in a good way.
