    So much for Nintendo’s previous naming conventions. I was really hoping for the New Super Nintendo Switch U.

      They wanna make it very clear that this is their best-selling console ever but better, I would‘ve been surprised if they didn‘t just slap a 2 on it. There‘s so much riding on this for them.

        I don’t think Nintendo have ever done a Console 2 before though. I was hoping for Super Switch but as ever Nintendo absolutely refuse to be predictable!

                You mean the company known for titles like Sega Bass Fishing and Virtua Cop? Whose company color is blue? Yeah, they’re not even subtle.

              To be fair, it wasn’t especially popular with anyone.

              I think you’d be surprised, Hitler The Dolphin was one of the best selling games of the era

          Yeah, I get that, I was just trying to say that the above is probably their reasoning in my mind. They‘re scared shitless to fuck the transition up, calling it „The Stuff You Guys Loved 2.0“ is the lowest risk move.

          I like your Super Switch though lol

        Plus it’s an actual straight upgrade, what with backwards compatibility and all.

          Partial backwards compatibility, based on their asterisk, at least.

              Yeah it’s going to be the same as PS4 on PS5. The disclaimer is on every game.

        I think that’s still the DS. The Switch got close, but didn’t beat it, and now that attention is on the Switch2, it probably won’t.

          Yeah, everyone always brings up the Wii U but the whole “New” 3DS situation was even less clear if you ask me

            Then you add in the 2DS which came out after the 3DS.

      It occurred to me that this is the first time Nintendo has ever not used some new weird naming convention for a successor console. Just 2.
