I think things would’ve worked out differently if Nintendo hadn’t messed up the naming of the Wii U. We probably would’ve had a line up like this:
• Wii
• Wii Pro (Wii U)
• Wii Portable (Switch)
They’re at that crossroad again with the Switch name. What do you think the Switch successor should be called? Keep the Switch name or nah?
Super Nintendo Switch
Super Nintendo Chalmers
Welcome! I hope you’re prepared for an unforgettable luncheon.
or Nintendo Switch Advance
This worked out really poorly for them with the WiiU. I doubt they will do it again. So many people (including me) thought the WiiU was either an addon for the Wii or a connected upgrade thing. Personally, I thought it was something like the that genesis 32x thing.
Nintendo needs to take a drastic step away from every other player in every market they’re in.
Call the new console:
KevinI honestly think Nintendo is 100% going to fuck up the name of the successor
“the nintendo”
That’s the unofficial name of all the Nintendo consoles, and sometimes even non-Nintendo consoles.
I can see them doing like, “Switch Up”
“Sega Dreamcast”
If they keep the switch branding, they need to just call it “switch 2” instead of some name that they think is clever but will just confuse people.
call it the Switch One
in JRPG style, call it Switch Zero R.
Super Switch would be a nice homage to the good old SNES
Swiitch
This is so confusing that Nintendo might just go for it
Router
Switcheroo
The Nintendo Personal Computer
Super Switch -> Suwitch
Don’t manifest this evil.
I prefer a separate name or something that’s easily distinguishable like the Super Nintendo Switch suggestion in comments.
The playstation nomenclature sucks in my opinion, can’t tell which is which when looking at them (specially ps3 and ps4 I feel like they’re the same)
I think you would fall into the same trap as the Wii U by staying too close to the Switch name. It’s muddled by the fact that PlayStation and Xbox brands have become so tightly associated with their parent company’s gaming marketing, but Nintendo’s most recognizable brand is and always has been “Nintendo”.
Super Switch or bust.
1000%.
People were smart enough to understand NES -> Super NES. They can understand Switch -> Super Switch.
It’s the perfect name, really. Especially if most of the changes are under the hood. I’d personally just like a better screen and a better CPU/GPU. That’s all I need.

I agree and I think they fumbled the naming convention as far back as GameCube. Nintendo, Super Nintendo and Nintendo 64 were all known as a ‘Nintendo’ by the masses.
