So much for Nintendo's previous naming conventions. I was really hoping for the New Super Nintendo Switch U.
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
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.
To be fair, it wasn't especially popular with anyone.
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.
Nintendo Vers
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
I guess they really did learn from the WiiU!
Don't worry, I'm reading your sarcasm.
nintendo switch advanced sp
Plus it's an actual straight upgrade, what with backwards compatibility and all.
Partial backwards compatibility, based on their asterisk, at least.
That's probably only referring to games like labo and ring fit
Yeah it's going to be the same as PS4 on PS5. The disclaimer is on every game.
I think that's still the DS. The Switch got close, but didn't beat it, and now that attention is on the Switch2, it probably won't.
Well they did just slap a 3 onto the DS
And then called the second gen 3DS the "New 3DS".
I was hoping for the Swiitch
I'll be waiting for the swivtch
Super Nintendo Switch 128 Dodecahedron V.
& Knuckles
Starring Dante from the Devil May Cry series
They got scared after what happened with the Wii U.
The new 3ds was very confusing too
Yeah, everyone always brings up the Wii U but the whole "New" 3DS situation was even less clear if you ask me
Then you add in the 2DS which came out after the 3DS.
It was Iwata. They must have been saving those easy decisions for the days he was really feeling the chemo, and he made the loopiest choices possible.
In all seriousness, I'm pretty sure he was the one who wanted to name the DS the City Boy.
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.
I'd buy a Nintendo Switchety-Four in a heartbeat
...Cube 128
New Super Mario Bros U2 Deluxe & Knuckles
Coming soon for the NINTENDO ULTRA SWITCH!
