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?

I do believe that Switch Attach will be it, but I would like to see "New Nintendo Switch". Simple and effective.

I'd be surprised if they got rid of the name "Switch" as the first was and still is so successful.

Nintendo Switch _(insert new name here)_

That's a trap, and it wouldn't surprise me if they fall for it. But anything that keeps dragging the word "switch" along with it will suffer the Wii U effect.

I know Nintendo does things differently, but the Switch has been a huge success and they've been copying M$/Sony so there's that possibility.

They'll probably go for Switch 2.
they won't they have never used 2 in any of their consoles they have always chosen a name. the only time they used a number was for the n64 where the 64 stood for 64bit where they wanted to show off that they were the only 64bit console at the time.

Switch 2. I feel reasonably strongly that any other name would be a mistake. The name "Wii U" shot that console in the foot. Even now I often find people who still think it was just an add-on or a pro model of the Wii. I could definitely see a name like "Super Switch" having the same effect. The average person is already acquainted with sequential numbering in their electronics' names from smartphones, WIndows (kind of), PlayStation etc. "Switch 2" is clear and concise, and it can't be misinterpreted.
