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?

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.
Nintendo needs to take a drastic step away from every other player in every market they’re in.
Call the new console:
KevinI honestly think Nintendo is 100% going to fuck up the name of the successor
If 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.
Super Switch would be a nice homage to the good old SNES
“Sega Dreamcast”
Swiitch
This is so confusing that Nintendo might just go for it
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.

I agree and I think they fumbled the naming convention as far back as GameCube. Nintendo, Super Nintendo and Nintendo 64 were all known as a ‘Nintendo’ by the masses.
New Switch 360 Series U
Once you see it, you’ll turn 360 degrees and walk away
But… that would mean you still keep walking towards it, just making a silly pirouette halfway through.
Moonwalk
Switcheroo
I can see them doing like, “Switch Up”
Super Switch -> Suwitch
Don’t manifest this evil.

…with NintenDogs bundle.
It needs to be Switch 2 or something different entirely. Otherwise people will get confused.
