This. Or The Super Nintendo Switch. It clearly delineates between the original Switch and Super Switch, and follows the convention of the NES and SNES without adhering to boring numbers. Plus, it avoids all the crap that's confusing to the consumer like Wii vs. Wii U or Xbox One X vs Xbox Series X.

My friend and I had a long and epic conversation about it.

Have they even stated how it will differ from the Switch yet? Any physical specs or if it will be more than just an upgrade? It's going to depend entirely on how they need to present what the console actually is to consumers and why they should replace their Switch with it, but I am almost certain it isn't going to be "Switch 2".

One hundred percent, they should absolutely call it the Super Nintendo Switch (SNS) if it is functionally an upgraded version of the same console. They could even use (SNS) in their graphic design to symbolize the console itself, with the "S's" symbolizing the joycons connecting to the "N" body.

Also, yeah, I've been out of the loop on Microsoft consoles since the 360 and I have no idea what the fuck a series x-s-pro whatever is supposed to be. It is really cumbersome to say, too.

i think they really should just name a console Nintendo

because everyone already calls whatever current console as a nintendo

you don't go "i'm gonna play a game on the switch now"

no, you say "i'm gonna go play on the nintendo"

Aside from competition, "Nintendo" stopped being a part of the console's colloquial names after the N64. Officially, certainly, it was the "Nintendo Gamecube," "Nintendo Wii," etc., but "Nintendo" was a pretty important part of "Super Nintendo" and "Nintendo 64" in a way that hasn't really been applicable since the N64 phased out.

There's literally zero reason for them to call it the Switch 64, but there's honestly a part of me that would love to see them go that route just for the sheer inanity of it.

I never thought about it, but yeah, that's probably the primary reason. In fact, I've had moment of confusion several times where someone has referenced their "Switch" and I'm not sure what they mean because it holds more than one context.

Actually it wasn't the Nintendo Wii. On pretty much all branding for the console, it would only say "Wii."

sony is as much competition to nintendo as xbox is to anyone

so much so that sony goes out of their way to not be considered competition to them

True. They've only really brought back the overt "Nintendo ___" branding for the Switch, presumably because:

Though I think I remember them usually saying "Nintendo 3DS system" when talking about it in Directs, so maybe I'm just blanking on old trends.

I think they really missed out on a golden opportunity, but they can still remedy it.

So the switch 2 (or whatever it's called) still isn't as good as the other consoles of this generation. It doesn't have a ton going for it from what I can see, but there is something they COULD do that would make it win in one category by far.

Don't go full VR with it, but provide a (comfortable and light), headset/glasses that let you see the games in full screen (huge) mode, anywhere you go. No need to have a larger portable screen (although you can still use that), when you can literally play on the equivalent of a HUGE TV anywhere.

THAT would draw in a ton of people. You could play anywhere in your house, on a train going to work, in the car if you are not driving etc. Yes, you can already do that with the small screen, but it's not a HUGE jump to just make glasses/headset (VR sets already do this, but with tons of stuff used for tracking etc). It's not even available at all for switch right now.

Making one available that is compatable with both systems on launch of the switch 2 would be a game changer.

THAT is what they should do and provide and they will win (at least for now) the portable console wars.
