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.
