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~~

First time Nintendo has ever called a piece of hardware the whatever 2, isn't it?

Actually, true. I'll give you that.

We've had:

-super whatever

-whatever advance

-3whatever

-whatever u

-whatever color

-whatever pocket

-whatever light

-whatever sp

but never whatever 2

come to think of it, I don't think they've ever reused any of their "the next version of whatever" terms, each of those is unique

My favourite dumb name is the

-New 3whatever XL

[–] buckykat@hexbear.net 11 points 17 hours ago

i forgot about "new whatever" that shit made my craigslist search for a used one really annoying. I do think the new 2ds xl is the ideal form of the 3ds generation, but it's such a stupid name.
