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?

NES Two , 2 tablets but the 2nd is a slave to the main. can be used to stream as a 2nd player or a 2nd "DS" like screen for maps and what not, also as long as the main is at home and on, the 2nd/slave can be used like a ps portal.


but something like that would be too perfect for nintendo , so this wont happen.

Over priced, over hyped, inferior last gen port whore.

Remember guys, the wii u was to rival the PS4/Xbx1, that nintendo had finally caught up in terms of hardware when releasing the wii u subpar to the old PS3/360 and trying to copy off the tablet market which was taking storm back then.

Clearly it failed when devs refused to support it or should I say, couldn't support it other than the same old last gen ports, but nintendo goes insulting gamers claiming its failure is because we didn't know it was a new console, not like denial much lol.

So they tried plan b, this been a new console putting them +1gen ahead of the PS4/Xbx1 this time copying the tablet market again promising and failing to get better third party support and we all know why nintendo do this internally everytime.

So this console be now +2 gen ahead of the PS4/Xbx1 and will only now, nintendo allow you to have hardware subpar to old console hardware over 10 years old.

* It'll include a diluted form of UE5 so nintendont can try lure sheep into making its launch titles look as if they're catching up
* It'll be another bs gimmick to mask the fact its another over priced inferior sack of shit
* itll likely be another port whore including Zelda after shutting down emulators showing great improvements the community added without needing a new console, but nintendo will use these as so called new improvements
*no doubt it'll promise better third party support aka everything as usual they failed to get first time round
* itll again have either expensive cart based format or restricted disc base media
* itll as usual come with inferior storage, again offloading its expensive either to third parties who already struggle to get the promised sales figures nevermind including increased costs to have its newer bigger titles all included on the game media format and will offload this expense onto the consumer.
* itll likely be cut costs been another hybrid so its a home console and portable console in one so they can combine two console markets into one
* itll be subpar to the PS4/Xbx1 and unless these promised better third party devs pay to have their new AAA titles made by a separate team solely for nintendo, then itll just be yet again getting all the ported titles from the PS4/Xbx1

It should be called Nintendont give a shit.

I wonder if itll support switch games and if so if the mig switch be compatible and if nintendo send their legal dogs after them and fabricate false damages, considering that this device only supports rom dumps off your game carts and cant say ive bothered actually looking, but I dont see mig switch dumps of switch games been shared.

Nintendo won't make the same mistake keeping its new console with the same name, or maybe they will so if it fails they can blame gamers again by saying it failed to sell because we didn't know it was a new console.

I so want it to be called "super switch". names like "switch attach" sound like accessory to existing switch, and it will turn out same as wii / wii u naming confusion once again. playing safe with naming like "Super switch" or "switch 2" make most sense, because new console itself seems to be playing safe (based on rumors upcoming console will indeed be new switch, and also not hard to figure out that nintendo will want to not split development resources in 2 for handheld and home consoles, and switch concept of merging handheld and home console allows just that)

They should call it Nintendo Switch 1, the one they always wanted to make but crapped out...

This time with proper hall effect man size joysticks, proper analog triggers and a dock with proper GPU inside, 4K 120hz here we go :toot:
I bet my turnigy will be better :P

Haha I like RC planes and turnigy makes awesome stuff for decent prices.

Still have turnigy LSD NiMH AA from Xbox360 era they charged like 2600mah and were around 1eur and something each and they are all still working nowadays on my Xbox one controller and lasts like crazy.

Also have a nice car controller from them with screen fully featured that was cheap and beat the crap out my 5x more expensive futaba...

Switch 2, maybe Switch N2 or something like that. Just leave it open for a potential Switch 3 and beyond. New company president might mean we're finally done with dumb naming schemes like 'New X' or 'X U'.

Having said that, I wouldn't oppose one dumb naming scheme: 3DSwitch, but only if it included glasses-free 3D in handheld, which no, I do not think it will, but I'd love it if it did.
