I have read that some people are saying that the next Switch is called "Switch Attach". Which would be exactly the type of daft naming scheme Nintendo would come up with.

 

[Jinzo Prime]

Nintendo Attract, if it has magnetic Joy-Cons as rumored.

Edit: I saw the Switch Attach rumor and thought "Attract" would sound a lot better. One letter makes a big difference.

 

[THE DUCK]

Since they will be partnering with xbox for the launch, it's the Switchbox.

"Do you have the new Hachi?" Hell, yeah. It's a huge inprovement over the Switch"

 

[YOU PC BRO?!]

Super Nintendo Switch (kinda like this one for nostalgia reasons)

Switch On

Slogan will be: Game On. Switch On.

[Dr.D00p]

Dunno, but I kind of laugh at the thought of all the anguish a few Nintendo salarymen are enduring in a basement level room, trying to come up with a universally, non naff, name.

 

[Banjo64]

I think Nintendo Switch 2 or Super Nintendo Switch are the only 2 options on the table. But Nintendo never fail to surprise.

 

[Caio]

1) Super Nintendo Switch.
2) Switch 2

Bait and Switch.

Turns out it won't be backwards compatible....

 

[Kurotri]

Just call it Switch 2, man. Can't be that hard?

Super Switch is the closest we gonna get to that type of iterative naming convention.

 

[Famipan]

Switch On

 

[Sw0pDiller]

Switch Advance obviously… or no buy

 

[efyu_lemonardo]

Switch Series 360

Serious guess: Switch Advance

They either keep Switch branding or risk a new name entirely. Hard to say given how successful Switch is it'd be risky to move away from it.

So Switch Advance, Super Nintendo Switch, Switch [new gimmick], Etc is my guess.

Personally, I like Super Nintendo Switch a lot. It's clear what is, keeps the name, maintains existing Switch while brining in the latest and greatest. It's not hard to market unless you're a total idiot consumer. Wii to Wii U this is not.

 

[Lunarorbit]

Super switch is a little lame but I think it'd be the smartest marketing wise

[Unknown?]

They will be upgrading from a switch to something more heavy duty.


Nintendo Contactor

 

[RoboFu]

Yeah I also think it will keep switch in the name. Straight up switch 2 would be good for them though super switch would be awesome for me.

 

[Majormaxxx]

something stupid which will confuse the users into thinking it is not switch 2 but akin to ps4 pro / one x

for example

Switch On

 

[vaibhavpisal]

Crazy ass bitch switch.

 

[MayauMiao]

Super Switch
Switch Swatch
Switch Sides
Switch+
Switch Pro
Switch 4K
Switch 2 Switch

 

[darrylgorn]

Nintendo S2
NS2

 

[Scotty W]

It will release in 2 models, Onward and Upward

 

[Et3rn1ty]

Neo Switch or Switch Neo if you like better....

 

[Physiognomonics]

At this point they'd be stupid to ditch the Switch family name. Switch 2 seems very logical.

[Alan Silvestro]

Switch 2.

I have read that some people are saying that the next Switch is called "Switch Attach". Which would be exactly the type of daft naming scheme Nintendo would come up with.

Switch Attach? Did they learn nothing from the previous generation? The name might sound okay in Japanese, but in English it sounds like a crappy third party accessory.

The wprst part is, if they wanted to highlight the supposed magnetic joycon feature, there would be better, snappier names that communicate the same idea. For example...

Nintendo Snap - featuring the joycon 2.0 that just snap into place. And when you're mad you can snap the console in half and buy another, I guess. They could even have another snappy soundbyte like the Switch's.

Okay, so Nintendo Snap might not be an amazing name, but Switch Attach is hilaribad. It's the Wii U x 10.

[nordique]

I really hope it’s just Switch 2

[Fredrik]

Should be Switch 2 but Nintendo will find a way to mess it all up like with Wii U so people think it’s an accessory for Switch. Maybe Switch Mag and the trailer will focus on showing the joycons and magnetism functionality.

I actually really like this idea.

Nintendo Snap

That's a cool name.

 

[Melon Husk]

I really hope it's called Super Switch.

 

[Calverz]

The Nintendo switch successor

 

[Investor9872]

Nintendo Switch Next, but I would just call it The Nintendo Switch 2.
