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!

I'm sure it was considered, but a console nicknamed SS was probably ruled out.

I don't think the Sega Saturn was particularly popular with neonazis

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

Hmmm what about the Sega MASTER system?

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.

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

I'd forgotten about the Sega Saturn. My only Sega console was the Genesis.
