4:39 Those consoles all had a multitude of reasons for not selling as much as their predecessors. Boiling it down to their names feels like a bit of a simplification.
My mom actively thought that the next DS would be the 4DS and many people thought the Wii U was just a gamepad for the Wii
I really don't see how calling it the 'Nintendo Switch 2' would cause it to underperform. In my eyes, 'Switch 2' conveys to customers that it's like the system they already own but essentially the next generation of it or a newer and more powerful version of it. Apple and Sony do the same thing with the iPhone and PlayStation; they're new versions of the same thing, plus each new version is a hardware upgrade of a previous version. They can really call it anything as long as they don't do a repeat of the Wii U and make things confusing for customers, but to me, a number can convey a lot more in a tech product than you think, and there's no reason it can't convey a hardware upgrade.
It doesn’t matter that’s a terrible name, and Nintendo would be the last company to ever slap a 2 on top of a console.
@@RyluRocky just because a video game company hasn’t done smth before with their console naming conventions doesn’t mean they never will
@@IshaBoiAlex Switch two is such a generic name it’s lacking any spice or personality
Nintendo isn’t Sony they’re way more creative
Nintendo Switch Warp
Nintendo Switch Fusion
Nintendo Switch Morph
Nintendo Switch Swap
Lots of switch synonyms that could work
@@madnessarcade7447 You neglected to mention the fact that Sony also came up with the names PocketStation, PSP Go, PlayStation Vita, PlayStation Move and PlayStation Portal for some their handhelds and accessories. To say that Sony isn't creative is a little misleading despite their main home consoles only having numbers at the end of their names. Nintendo could very well add a synonym at the end of "Nintendo Switch" to differentiate it from the og system much like how Sony does it to differentiates their handhelds and accessories from their home consoles, but assuming the Switch 2 is the next mainline Switch console and not a one-off like a portable-only one, an all-digital one, one with an entirely unique gimmick, etc., I would be more than happy with the name "Nintendo Switch 2". I just hope they don't go with "Nintendo Switch Attach" lol
@@IshaBoiAlexat least switch attach has personality
I always thought it would be called "The Nintendo Swap" and the gimmick would be the ability to swap on different kinds of joy cons, similar to the accessories for the Wii
Would you eat a lemon scented disinfectant spray bottle
Yea
Definitely 💯
I'd eat the plastic any time , but I dont like lemons
The bottle or the stuff inside? Because both
XNO (exclusive no)
Hear me out “Nintendo Snap”, due to the ability to snap out the magnetically attached joy-con from the screen and snap it back.
It does have a good ring to it
great idea
It does sound pretty cool,
You should probably tell them about that name
Bonus points if the console comes with a camera and some sort of built-in photo editing software
They should call it the Switch Fresh
The Bog Swallow is my favorite enemy
I love that it swallows

*THE NINTENDO SYSTEM*
The Nintendo Switch 2 is called the “Nintendo Focus”.
What about Nintendo Attach Switch. The major selling point are extra accessories to attach into, like a screen, VR head-strap, a camera. These can also be wireless used when docked, which goes hand in hand with the hybrid concept to allow even more possibilities. Customer can choose one of the accessories with the console and buy more if they want.
I like the idea that you had with Nintendo blank, but what if you call it Nintendo canvas

@@Pikachu8aforget to switch accounts?
I think the Super Switch is best BUT if I had a say, I'd call it the "Switch Blade"
IMMEDIATELY made me think of *”Are Wii gonna have a problem?”*
Nintendo describes it as a next model, its gonna be called the Switch Pro Model.
As worse as Wii U with this. That would say Switch Pro and Switch Lite are supposed to be just a variant of the Switch
@@NineTnk The next Switch being essentially the 3DS to the DS, I think they keep the branding.
I would assume if nintendo named their next console the switch 2 I would assume it would sell more than the wii u but parents would say "don't you already have a nintendo switch?"
I don’t care what the name of the console is as long as the console is good
Switch Deluxe. It’s ONLY backwards compatible but all games cost £50 to be upgraded to the next game to its deluxe version with the only difference people the title page and a free Player Icon
I'd buy that in 2,500,000,000 heartbeats
@@mariotheundying sounds good
I just wish people understood that the "switch 2" isn't coming out until sales dip below the competition, so long at they are the top sellers they have zero incentive to dust off the completed switch successor, it doesn't matter how much we moan about the graphics if our wallets say otherwise
I want a Nintendo Blank now.
New Switch would sound good in commercials lol
I was literally talking to someone about this topic in college and wow I can finally figure out if it’s possible and what name would fit for you know the new switch
I would like it to be called the Switch Bliss.
Switch II with Roman numerals sounds stupid enough I’d think Nintendo would do it
That *II* even looks like a pair of joy cons!
They could put the II in between the joy cons on the logo
I know it’s from another video but I would love for it to be The Super Nintendo Switch as a reference for the super nintendo.
Nintendo Swatch, just to mess with ‘em
I have a name to submit: the Nintendo Gemini
But people can confuse it with Google Gemini, the dumb and racist multimodal LLM bot with a racist and woke AI art generator that had its ability to generate human faces taken away for being racist and woke
To be fair, we did have a Mario Party 9 for the Wii. So, while most of the time people skip over number 9, it does happen.
the nintendo DB sounds awesome
By gamecube you mean the nintendo lunchbox
Nintendo Nova
Or the Nintendo Nexus
Nintendo should hire you guys
Either the Super Nintendo Switch 2 or the Super Nintendo Switch Pro. Or they could be clever and call it the Super Nintendo Experience Switch. Which the acronym would be SNES.
If it has to be a sequel to the switch, I hope it is called the SuperSwitch!
It wold be cool if they called it the switch boy
Murder is good dandori not irl
Nintendo Next
Nintendo switch ultra.
Ultra for 4k visuals using dlss.
Obviously, it’s Nintendo deck
youtube servey once leaked. Switch attach
I hope its the wobblewok..
Okay, so friend of mine, who I’ll call Kibble, said names don’t matter. He said the entire Wii U confusion came from lack of games. He said something along the lines of, “it could be named turdmaster and it would get all sorts of popularity if it has good games,” and “it could have the best name ever but that wouldn’t matter if it doesn’t have games…”
Now, look, I understand games are a major thing, but do realize if the moniker sticks, all hells gon break loose. But, at least people won’t think it’s an add-on if it has 2 at the end… but please, don’t let the moniker stick!
I once had an idea of a Nintendo successor console using magnets to connect controllers and screens together in many ways
(Which ironically is what it is rumored to have)
And the name i came up for such a concept is the Nintendo Magnum
I love that idea to this day
as a switch 2, I can confirm that I am called the Xbox series x
What if it is just the nintendo
because when you think about it the NES wasn't called the entertainment system, it was an "entertainment system" but by nintendo.
now we dont call consoles entertainment systems, so if it would release today it would be just nintendo
I think it is most likely to be named the super nintendo switch (SNS sounds cool and nice callback to SNES )
but if it is super nintendo switch, the code name would probably be SNX, but it isn't.
it can also be called new nintendo switch but i just find that name kinda dumb (even tho they did that 3 times already).
also the name could be something completly different like a random cool name, and the code names often doesn't match the console (why tf is gamecube a dolphin).
What if it's called the nintendo ultimate rectangle, or the Nintendo switch 4k RTX
heck it could even be called the nintendo 8 inch [still fucking hate the switch OLED name]
@@alpha_0277I’m pretty sure game cube was dolphin because one of the debut games for the game cube was Mario sunshine in which the map is “Isle Delfino” (basically Spanish for dolphin or something like that) and it’s shaped like a dolphin too
The Nintendo Prodigious SP
Wii U name means Wii wanna play with U
It’s an underrated system everywhere be who owned one enjoyed their time with it if more people gave it a chance they would have realized that
All their hate is just assumptions
I mean sure but the fact that the Wii had an absolute gargantuan amount of peripherals and games with the "Wii" moniker definitely hurt the Wii U.
Some people today still don't know it's a different console and that's really telling how self-destructive the name was at the time.
wii = we
meanwhile in an other country named france...
"do you want the Nintendo wii?"
"Oui!"
"Oui, the Nintendo Wii"
"OUI!"
"Stop repeating it, do you want it or not???"
" *OUI!!!* "
Raggins: Every Nintendo console starts with the word Nintendo
GameCube Nintendo: I’m gonna pretend I didn’t hear that
Super Switch
there
Watch me predict: The Switch´s successor is gonna be called: Omega Switch, Switch Neo or simply: SuperSwitch.
It’s dumb to say it will sell less because of a number next to it, when you look at Apple, Samsung and Sony, that’s just not true. The number conveys new and increases sales
Love it :)
You guys want switch two? I want the Nintendo gun
So, the Zapper?
I think the switch 2 is probably gonna be called the “Nintendo matrix” or some shit
I still want that Super Nintendo switch..
I agree that the name is going to be very important. My concern is that I just read through all 121 comments on this video, and not a single name idea seems great. Nintendo will likely call it Switch 2 just because it's near-impossible to come up with a great name. A lot of catchy and powerful words are taken by other products already.
Doodlebug.
Who's gonna tell this guy about the Switch Attach leak??
Y do I feel like it’s just gonna b Nintendo 2…? Maybe it’s rise higher if u fall first strat?
Belive since it's an upgraded switch believe it we'll be called 'Super Nintendo switch.
Switch NEXT
Switch Advanced
Super Nintendo Switch
Hey, hear me out...
Nintendo Flipswitch.
An nintendo switch with 2 flippable screens on its back which magnetize to the Joy Cons, Turning them into an Device similar to an 3DS with data carried from your Switch. An Joy Flipper. It's Detachable (Together with the Con) and you can bring it with you in your pocket with less worrying that it would fall to the ground.
The docked screen would act like more of a Wi-fi Router than anything, you could use a passcode to temporarily cut the connection from your Dock, and start connection with another! Simplifying local multiplayer.
It could even magnetize to the screens of other Joy Flippers! Just gently Bump the screens into each other and BOOM! It's Connected.
Co-op has never been easier.
That's it! Whaddaya think?
What if Nintendo made the Nintendo 3Dswitch
It's basically if a switch and a 3DS combined
Dual screens, 3D display, bottom screen touchpad, and literally everything else the 3DS did
I made this idea as a joke
I think the next Nintendo console name will be: "New Super Nintendo advance i U Oled Pro X"
SUPER SWITCH!
SUPER SWITCH!
SUPER SWITCH!
Super Nintendo Switch Advance.😊
I'm gonna say it'll be called the Nintendo snap, because apparently the joycons will be attatched with magnets
I like that name, reminds me too much of pokemon snap tho😂
It doesn't matter what nintendo calls it, this new console will never outperform the switch, the switch sold so well partly because of covid
Names shall be like N2, Nintendo Lumia, NX2, NSX, Nintendo Scarlett or Nintendo SNX
to switch or not to switch
Switcharoo
The Xbox SX lost because it lacked first party
As one of the other comments said the name isn’t the only factor
This line of thinking, about being clever or nostalgic with naming conventions, has killed Nintendo in the past. I suspect it also hurts Xbox sales as well.
Switch is as good a name as PlayStation, Galaxy or iPhone. In modern society, the easiest way to convey to EVERYBODY, not just those invested in gaming, tech or whatever, is the numeric name. PlayStation 6? Literally the whole planet knows it’s a next gen console. iPhone 16? Definitely the latest phone.
Wii U? Oh, is that a Wii with a new controller? Sure looks like the Wii on the box. I don’t need that. New 3DS? Looks like the same thing, I already have one. Super Switch? Looks like the Switch to me, I already have that, must be just like the OLED or something. Switch 2? Oh wow! A brand new console? I want that!
Just because you follow gaming, or have wet dreams about “Super Switch” tickling your nostalgia, doesn’t mean it’s a good idea. It won’t do anything except hurt sales, especially for parents and grandparents buying for kids who don’t understand the reference.
“Dad! Can I get a Super Switch?” What’s that? Like a Switch pro? You don’t need that, the Switch is good enough. “Dad, can I get a Switch 2?” Oh, a completely different console? Ok sure.
People who want clever names are just foolish
HEY don't hate on my wii U
play Tinykin please
switch U
I hope the switch 2 has black joycons
your idea of the nintendo blank is soo dumb and smart to the point where it is perfect
Call it switch X
it should be called Switch ultra or switch deluxe if it not that im not happy
But is it though? The PlayStation 2 is the best selling console of all time.
I would argue that the PS1 being 10x better than it's competition was a big part of the PS2 selling so well, but it sold well regardless.
Super Nintendo switch😂
It should be call the super Switch
Raggins why have you stopped responding to my comments? Have you stopped the despicable Winged Pikmin hate and fat art?
I love wing pikmin, even if they’re obese
Is that a yes?
Nintendo twitch
I would love to see the Nintendo Switch console where you can stream without using a capture card like on PS4/PS5
i hope the normal switch can play the fuiture game
Uh no nintendo switch 2 please
Hello i'm Leo and I found your video because i'm a Nintendo fan who has been a really interested of the Upcoming "Nintendo Switch 2" what you say is a terrible name and in my opinion too I really agree you. Because after 3DS Nintendo haven't used numbers on their consoles names like Wii, Wii U and Switch so that's why the Nintendo Switch 2 is a terrible name and more better names could be the New Nintendo Switch XL, the Nintendo Switch U or the Super Nintendo Switch, it's not gonna be the Nintendo Switch Pro because Nintendo don't want to imitade PS4 Pro so I believe the Super Nintendo Switch will be the Next Nintendo Switch's awesome name, can't wait i'm so excited for the New Nintendo Switch Console here we Go WAHOO! 🎉😮😊❤
A switch pro is best namr fo switch successor
Nintendo Power
get it? because what comes after you use a Switch
The super switch is new name like the snes
what about Nintendo Virtual Boy U
._.
Nice pfp bro
@@Raggins thanks :D AOT masterpiece.
Super Nintendo Switch
Nintendo Flex or Nintendo Switch2Flex
YOU ARE TERRIBLY WRONG, TO THE TITTLE!!!
Nintendo Yuzu xdddddd would be funny since they shut down the emulator, if it was powerful it could sell
Mario kart tour is really Mario kart 9
Mario Kart is a mobile game, why people call it for Mario Kart 9, because they want Mario Kart 10 is the Next Mario Kart game?
