At this point, it seems all but confirmed that the Switch 2 is going to be another hybrid console/handheld, and likely even marketed as a Switch successor. But we also know that Nintendo can be pretty stupid with their naming conventions, especially when following a successful platform, so there’s no way it’ll actually be called the “Switch 2”.

I see “Super Switch” floating around a lot, which I like, but it seems unlikely.

What would you name the next Switch?

Chances that it will keep "Switch" in the name are probably 97.3%.

Chances that it will be "Switch U" are 0% thank god.

[Krieger]

SwIItch, after that comes SwIIItch, then SwIVtch.

Kidding, probably Switch 2 to be honest.

You could legit add all these together into one.

All about getting out being active and taking your games with you. The upper-case V for how the system closes and opens to allow for easy transport and the awesome flexible OLED/LED screen tech (like Samsung)

Super Switch

Obviously the best choice. Works on a couple of levels - you're already familiar with the brand and let's you know this is the upgraded one.

Famously, people thought Wii U was a controller, not a new system. I think Super Switch sounds like an improved system.

One thing I think that works against it is that “Super Switch” inherently sounds like a device or toy for kids, which makes sense since the “Super Nintendo” was marketed to kids.

But the last 15 years of Nintendo branding have been targeting families and sometimes even older gamers. I just don’t see companies branding their consoles with words like “Super” and “Mega” and “Turbo” anymore. We’re sadly past the ‘tude age.

Nintendo heard the impatience of its fans So they will call it Switch When Is This Console Happenning?
But knowing Nintendo they'll probably go with the acronym ... So it'll be the ...SWITCH ....Shit I thought I had it figured out.

Super Switch rolls of the tongue so well, still my fave.

Then again, they didn't call the Wii2/WiiU the "Wii Wii" as I hoped either..
