I feel like Nintendo would be too scared to do this, but "Super Switch" is so perfect. We're getting an iterative console here, why not do what worked best with the NES? It's a suped-up Switch after all! If they go with "New Switch" I'll lose it because that will only confuse people, and also "new" is super lame. 😅 Switch 2? Fine. Super Switch? Heck yea!

I think Switch 2 is great, but I'm biased because I love my Switch.

If between Nintendo Super Switch or Nintendo Switch 2 - they could go simple and leave the #2 as a next gen name numbering until the next iteration of Switch Arms would be coming up next in the future or something.

@SlamDunk22
yeah i feel while the playstation names arent exactly creative at least they are clear compared to things like the "new 3ds" or whatever the heck is going on with Xbox.

@Citrus_Architect
i would also be cool with super switch, considering it would be the switch, but super.

@Citrus_Architect i feel like if they called it Super Switch people would think it's like a Switch pro or something, not a whole new console, kinda like what happened with WiiU

wow, we have a debbie downer winner folks. Super Switch has nothing in common with what happened or what caused the demise of WiiU.

I think it will be a tossed up for Nintendo Super Switch or Nintendo Switch 2 for common sense people. NSS or NS2, I think a "2" will help mark it different along with different color scheme will make it different as well as a 8" LCD screen and maybe OLED option.

@SwitchForce actually I don't disagree with @SlamDunk22. Even though I personally prefer Super Switch as a name to honor their history, marketing is a fickle thing, and there are hundreds of nongamers (or maybe "not typical" gamers would be a better term) who could potentially be confused by the moniker. Switch 2 would certainly be safer. I just would like something more fun 😅

Not sure why people keep grabbing for empty straws that has no relations to Switch or next gen Switch consoles. How and why the WiiU became the ostracized child seem more to do with marketing didn't do it service and lead to it's own demise.

Also one of the only few options to go with if they want to avoid another Wii U situation

Nintendo Switch 2. Nothing wrong with iteration.

One of the less confusing names too. Actually pretty fine since it won’t be looking extremely different from the original Switch. Also helps avoid another Wii U situation.

This would be kinda like taking the PlayStation route of naming consoles.

They should call this next one with Switchi, then the 3DSwitch after that (with a 3DSwitch XL and 2DSwitch mid gen), and then the New 3DSwitch.

That’s actually what I thought years ago after the Switch Lite came out

Because the nomenclature is too easy - for some to wrap their head around.

Why not go back past successes?
"Switch U"
or (better imho)
"U Switch" (and put a rubber case on it)
