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

      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.

      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!

          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.
