Nintendo Switch

In the results call with investors, when asked if the next-gen console was “brand-new, or…”, Nintendo President Furokawa answered “Switch next model is the appropriate way to describe it”

    That’s a leaning-positive sign for backwards compatibility.

    This is what people asked for, more switch.

    Call it the Switch 2, leave it open for a potential Switch 3, and Switch 4. Don’t shoot yourselves in the foot by calling it the Switch U, New Switch, Super Switch, Switch Advance, etc.

    I can think of one possibly acceptable naming convention to return, but only if it includes one key feature that I can’t fathom it actually would. I unironically kinda love the idea of one being called the 3DSwitch (even if that does pigeonhole them for naming conventions moving forward), but only if it offered glasses-free 3D in handheld mode (which again, I can’t imagine that’s even being considered, but I would love to see it).

    Guys… what if it’s literally going to be called the “Switch Next?” I doubt that’s what he meant but it sounds like a Nintendo naming convention.

    Hahaha would laugh my ass off if the name is literally “Nintendo Switch Next Model”.

    Super Switch and Switch 2 are the only acceptable names.

    Furokawa is such a white toast with water kind of man lol

    Good. It’s time to move on from introducing a transformative gimmick each generation. Nintendo finally found one that is actually good, just stick with it and iterate upon it.

    Seems like internally they see this as the Game Boy Color of Switch models, which I’d be fine with provided if it gets a significant enough boost in performance.

  15. HeilYourself

    Please call it the Super Nintendo Switch.

    I think that pretty much confirms that their next console is, well, a successor to the Switch. Which is GREAT, they have the perfect concept already, you can’t reinvent the wheel everytime.

    Honestly, good. They don’t need to reinvent the wheel here.

    I don’t think they will change the Switch formula in at least next three gens.

    Well they have me by the balls with Zelda and pokemon

  21. generalosabenkenobi

    Such a missed opportunity if it’s not called the SUPER Switch

  22. sideaccountguy

    That’s the smartest decision tbh, they don’t need to reinvent the wheel when the switch it’s likely to become the best console sold ever, just improve what you already have and continue releasing good games. I still think the console will introduce some gimmicks but the utilization just like the Switch will be limited to certain amount of games and not mandatory.

    Switch DS – a more powerful DS ‘double screen’ where older games are backwards compatible to a single screen (think GBA on Nintendo ds) and then the new games utilize both screens. Bottom screen is touch and top screen is not.
