Name the Switch successor: what should Nintendo call its new console?

switch2.jpg

Nintendo has officially announced that a successor to the beloved Switch console is on the horizon. As we eagerly anticipate what innovations this new device will bring, there's one fun piece of the puzzle left undecided: its name.

The name of a console is more than just a label; it's the first impression, a brand identity, and often, a crucial element in its success or failure. Think back to the Nintendo Wii, which despite its unusual name, revolutionized gaming with its motion controls and family-friendly appeal. On the flip side, we have the Wii U, whose name caused quite a bit of confusion and didn't resonate as well with the audience.

This is where you come in! Nintendo has always been about innovation and community, and what better way to honor that spirit than by inviting you, the fans, to help name the next generation console? Whether you think it should be something classic like the "Switch 2" or something more creative like "Super Switch Ultra Deluxe" we want to hear your most creative and catchy ideas. Don't hold back—post your naming ideas in the comments below. Feel free to upvote the names you love, and why not add your twist to someone else’s suggestion?

Furukawa stated it was best to think of it as the "next model of Switch" so I could see them called it the "SuperSwitch" or "SwitchNext"

Nintendo Switch - MIG model - DMCA not pro media preservationist & not costumer friendly edition, Featuring Yuz U™

(Definitely not a confusing marketing name)

So even our very own GBATemp cannot escape the perils of AI-generated art, eh?

Watch them call it the New Nintendo Switch and start that whole fiasco over again

"Family-friendly", if you don't accidentally chuck the damn Wiimote into the TV when it inevitably fails to read your movements at all accurately, thereby pissing off the rest of the family too - all because the damn console didn't mandate the Classic Controller as a necessary backup option in case the experimental and inherently gimmicky motion controls utterly shat the bed.

As for the QotD..."New Nintendo Switch XL"? "Nintendo Switch Deluxe"? "Super Nintendo Switch"?

Idunno what it should be called, but I feel like it will probably be called something underwhelming like New Nintendo Switch or Next Nintendo Switch just to get the point across
