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
