Am I the only one who thinks the Super Switch would’ve been a fun name and a nice callback to Nintendo’s past? Like, I don’t understand why they didn’t do that with the Wii U either (Wii and Super Wii sounds so cute).

It’s called Switch 2 because when you see it you turn 2π radians and moonwalk away

They didn't want people making the "Well if the Switch is so good, why isn't there a Switch 2?" jokes.

switch to what? I'm confused. I think I'll just get a steamdeck.

lotta, like, parents and other people on the periphery of gaming industry thought the WiiU was just an extra tablet you connected to your old Wii. Probably the sound decision here.

My discords are split between zoomers who are extremely angry that the Switch 2 will not bring them back to playing Picto Chat in middle school, old farts who will wait until it goes on sale, and even older farts who are excited about it because they have kids who can play games on it.

I kinda was hoping for something more... Nintendo weird.

I would've liked that too, but didn't expect it. One thing that snuck in though is that the new joycons can be used as mice. I bet Shiggy has something dumb planned with that.

First time Nintendo has ever called a piece of hardware the whatever 2, isn't it?

After the Wii U they probably don't want to risk it.

i'm still waiting for the nintendo 65

:kelly: Bait and switch.

they probably didnt want to confuse people since they were keeping the name Switch, plus It seems nintento learned that they had such a hit with the hybrid console idea that their next consoles will just be more upgrated nintendos Switchs

Yeah, I'm still calling it the Switch U.

Swatch was taken

name is mid, but eh wii u flop spooked them. not that surprised, nobody has misunderstood a ps3 for a ps2 addon.

though I do wonder how much of the wii u flop was less the name and more, it was just kind of uninteresting? personally, the wii u came out when I was in my mid teens and moving away from consoles to PC and was very much uninterested in the wii u so that could be clouding things for me, but I do not know a lot of gamers even who got a wii u and they were not confused about the name

Not sure what to think of the magnetic lock on the controllers. That side port they plug into looks way more fragile than however the fuck the rails worked.

Posted "Nintendo Switch 2 such a bad name" on a lemmy.world community and got downvoted.

To me the name should be Super Nintendo Switch or SNS like the SNES

So there's going to be a giant 2 on the dock and controller grip? Hm.

im thinking "super switch" would've worked better but the acronym isn't exactly ideal

I'm still calling it the Swiitch

I wanted the SwitchU so they wouldn't sell any again

I'm still waiting on the GameCast 2

I'm proposing "Nintendo Switch & Knuckles"

Nintendo SWiiUtch

Super Switch

Trailer is kinda meh, it's all about the titles

I'm gonna buy one anyway my kid is going to be in my ear about it. Better start saving up this thing is gonna be expensive

Lilo and switch
