I'm proposing "Nintendo Switch & Knuckles"
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
i'm still waiting for the nintendo 65
gamecube was nintendo 65
wii was nintendo 66
wii u nintendo 67
switch was nintendo 68
which would make the switch the... the... nintendo sixt- 💥🔫
Now that I think about it, the Joy-Cons are basically inverted versions of each other, so...
I'm still waiting on the GameCast 2
Stop combining things I love or I'll get sad they don't exist
Super Switch
Yeah, I'm still calling it the Switch U.
I'm calling it the Switch Me
Posted "Nintendo Switch 2 such a bad name" on a lemmy.world community and got downvoted.
To me the name should be Super Nintendo Switch or SNS like the SNES
I would have called it the Switch Army Knife.
JK I would have called it the Nintendo Power
im thinking "super switch" would've worked better but the acronym isn't exactly ideal
Lilo and switch
Could've gone with Nintendo Dom. Probably not Nintendo Sub, but maybe.
Edit: I can't read and now see this joke was in the original post
I know posters who read the post before commenting and they're all cowards
I wanted the SwitchU so they wouldn't sell any again
switch to what? I'm confused. I think I'll just get a steamdeck.
Switch 2 the polls
Am I the only one who thinks the Super Switch would’ve been a fun name and a nice callback to Nintendo’s past? Like, I don’t understand why they didn’t do that with the Wii U either (Wii and Super Wii sounds so cute).
Super Switch sounds a lot more on brand for Nintendo, Switch 2 makes it sound like they're trying to make this look like a new PlayStation. They should have hired you to do their marketing
It’s called Switch 2 because when you see it you turn 2π radians and moonwalk away
That's a deep cut of online gamer humor
lmaoll
After the Wii U they probably don't want to risk it.
My discords are split between zoomers who are extremely angry that the Switch 2 will not bring them back to playing Picto Chat in middle school, old farts who will wait until it goes on sale, and even older farts who are excited about it because they have kids who can play games on it.
I kinda was hoping for something more... Nintendo weird.
I would've liked that too, but didn't expect it. One thing that snuck in though is that the new joycons can be used as mice. I bet Shiggy has something dumb planned with that.
wait until it goes on sale
Idk about where y'all live, but where I live, their consoles never go on sale
Wait until the New Switch 2 comes out and get a secondhand Switch 2
Switch 2 QD-OLED
nintendo mouse
If they do Mario Paint 2 I will purchase day one stg
I unironically think the mouse functionality will make this their most creative game library yet (if only because lots of games can safely include a creative mode with controls that don't suck)
but overall I think Nintendo is past making "weird" consoles since the launch of the first switch, the joycons have let them do the big weird stuff in individual games instead (LABO, Ring Fit) and now the joycons have even more functions. weird is coming even if the console seems standard
Trailer is kinda meh, it's all about the titles
I'm gonna buy one anyway my kid is going to be in my ear about it. Better start saving up this thing is gonna be expensive
They didn't want people making the "Well if the Switch is so good, why isn't there a Switch 2?" jokes.
I'm still calling it the Swiitch
:kelly: Bait and switch.
lotta, like, parents and other people on the periphery of gaming industry thought the WiiU was just an extra tablet you connected to your old Wii. Probably the sound decision here.
In Japanese, 2 is pronounced "ni"
So it would've been the Wii Ni
One time my mate's house got burgled and they stole the WiiU controller but not the actual WiiU.
I’m learning there was a WiiU today. Oh I was really busy 2012 that makes sense.
I thought that WiiU was the sound an ambulance makes
First time Nintendo has ever called a piece of hardware the whatever 2, isn't it?
they probably didnt want to confuse people since they were keeping the name Switch, plus It seems nintento learned that they had such a hit with the hybrid console idea that their next consoles will just be more upgrated nintendos Switchs
