Backwards compatibility with the cartridges and transferring the digital downloads seamlessly would go a long way towards making most other owners and me happier about upgrading/replacing my Switch. I have only two pain points with Switch which I believe everyone has - the web/store is incredibly sluggish no matter your internet connection, and all official Nintendo controllers will eventually drift in the joysticks because they cheaped out on the construction.

Oh for the days of nintendium. I got upset playing Sonic Advance 2 when I was little and overhand-hurled my GBA down an entire flight of stairs onto tile, ran down, picked it up then ran to the next door to throw it down the basement stairs to a concrete floor.
I was suddenly overcome with regret and ran to check my precious device. One small (4mm) stress fracture that did not change the surface of the plastic.

Their parental control system is not too good either. For a box with multiple users (some kids, some adults), its almost all or nothing in terms of game access. Tough to sub-list when the main page is all the games unfiltered. If they could somehow fix that it would be good.
