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.

According to a thesaurus, it could be Substitute or Swap. :P

Realistically, it will probably be the Switch 2. It just makes the most sense, unless they choose to give it a new name entirely.

That way Nintendo can make the Google searches for *ahem* alternative software infinitely confusing and annoying.

Probably the super switch, a semi-significant upgrade from the existing switch. I know it's Nintendo we're talking about who's all about 'innovating' but you gotta ask yourself what's left to invent these days that hasn't already been done in some way. The Switch concept wasn't even new when it released, and when they try to really force innovation you end up with gimmicks like the WiiU GamePad. Mark my words, they'll play it safe and it's just going to be an upgrade because it's no longer profitable to keep producing the same flintstones era chips.

Why not just be honest and call it what it is? A smart phone from two generations ago with a BT controller and custom OS.

Well, regardless of what they call it, I know what I'm looking forward to making it when it gets hacked ;) Then again, since Nintendo makes money on their hardware, I might just wait for Yutoo.
