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.

I like how pretty much everyone include "Switch" in the name, but I'm starting to think even my idea (Super Nintendo Switch) is a bad one.
If Nintendo learned anything about their mistake (Wii U), then "Switch" is not gonna be anywhere in the name of their next console.

I understand that this topic is supposed lighten the hate towards Nintendo but seriously, after all that happened, I don't care anymore
I mean, the Switch 2 will be way too underpowered compared to its predecessor.

Just for fun, I asked ChatGPT to propose five names.

Nintendo Nexus
Nintendo Fusion
Nintendo Horizon
Nintendo Infinity
Nintendo Pulse
Nintendo Fusion was already a theory about what could be the next Nintendo console after the Wii U.
I remember it being two distinct consoles that would be released at the same time : Fusion Terminal and Fusion DS. Terminal being a home console and DS a portable console. All games on these console would be compatible together. On Terminal, you would have enhanced performance, while on DS, you would have lowered graphics and such.
Frankly, if their next console is also an hybrid, they NEED to put extra power/gpu in their dock, so that we would get better/realistic graphics in 4k while in docked mode (something that would be just impossible in portable mode)
