I think things would’ve worked out differently if Nintendo hadn’t messed up the naming of the Wii U. We probably would’ve had a line up like this:
• Wii
• Wii Pro (Wii U)
• Wii Portable (Switch)
They’re at that crossroad again with the Switch name. What do you think the Switch successor should be called? Keep the Switch name or nah?

or Nintendo Switch Advance
This worked out really poorly for them with the WiiU. I doubt they will do it again. So many people (including me) thought the WiiU was either an addon for the Wii or a connected upgrade thing. Personally, I thought it was something like the that genesis 32x thing.
I honestly think Nintendo is 100% going to fuck up the name of the successor
Nintendo needs to take a drastic step away from every other player in every market they’re in.
Call the new console:
KevinIf they keep the switch branding, then need to just call it “switch 2” instead of some name that they think is clever but will just confuse people.
call it the Switch One
in JRPG style, call it Switch Zero R.
“the nintendo”
That’s the unofficial name of all the Nintendo consoles, and sometimes even non-Nintendo consoles.
“Sega Dreamcast”
Super Switch would be a nice homage to the good old SNES
Add a second screen and call it the Dual Switch. DS for short.
They could also make the screen 3D capable and call it 3D Switch. Or 3DS if you will.
Swiitch
This is so confusing that Nintendo might just go for it
Super Switch -> Suwitch
Don’t manifest this evil.
I do like the Super Switch. But if the Switch is the standard going forward it’ll make the 3rd iteration a little difficult to name. So Switch 2 is fine
But we’re also assuming they’re going to make a Switch successor. Hopefully that is the case but I don’t quite trust Nintendo not to screw this up
I think you would fall into the same trap as the Wii U by staying too close to the Switch name. It’s muddled by the fact that PlayStation and Xbox brands have become so tightly associated with their parent company’s gaming marketing, but Nintendo’s most recognizable brand is and always has been “Nintendo”.
Super Switch or bust.
1000%.
People were smart enough to understand NES -> Super NES. They can understand Switch -> Super Switch.
It’s the perfect name, really. Especially if most of the changes are under the hood. I’d personally just like a better screen and a better CPU/GPU. That’s all I need.
Switch U. Don’t mess with the classics. Unless it’s to add a bunch of games with Hakchi. What were we talking about?
