Switch 2’s name might seem dull, but considering Nintendo’s successive failures—it makes perfect sense
Amid the reveal of the Nintendo Switch successor, the Switch 2, there has been an outcry from Nintendo fans, young and old, about the poor naming of the console.
To many, the Super Nintendo Switch, New Nintendo Switch, or other haphazard names have dominated the discussion boards and forums, and everyone bemoans the lack of creativity regarding the new system’s name. Yet despite all the stark cries and scarf waving, to me, Nintendo’s decision to name the Switch successor the Switch 2 makes perfect sense, even if it might sound a little dull.
