Everyone else "Yay they gave us exactly what we wanted, and a nice normal name too!" soypoint-2

Don't get me wrong, I'm glad they didn't do an Xbox and call it something confusing, but I was hoping this console could have it's own identity.

I'm happy for a more powerful Switch, it sounds neat. Still, I kinda was hoping for something more... Nintendo weird.

Okay maybe I'm just mad because I was hoping after the Nintendo Switch that we'd be getting a Nintendo Dom and a Nintendo Sub

    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

        Now that I think about it, the Joy-Cons are basically inverted versions of each other, so...

    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

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

    Could've gone with Nintendo Dom. Probably not Nintendo Sub, but maybe.

    Edit: I can't read and now see this joke was in the original post

    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).

      Super Switch sounds a lot more on brand for Nintendo, Switch 2 makes it sound like they're trying to make this look like a new PlayStation. They should have hired you to do their marketing

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