Summary

  • Nintendo is reportedly calling its new console the "Switch 2" and "New Switch" in discussions with developers like Atlus and Sega.
  • However, prominent leaker Midori doesn't believe this is the final name.

According to well-known leaker Midori, Nintendo has been calling its new console the 'Switch 2' and 'New Switch' behind closed doors, but it might not be the actual name when it's finally unveiled to the public (outside of 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:a random tweet on a Tuesday, that is).

"In conversations with developers including Atlus and Sega over the⛦ past few years, the next hardware is using the name Switch 2 or New Switch," Midori said. "But I do not think that is the final nameꦬ."

It's often claimed that a big reason for the Wii U failing was that it had a confusing name, with many not realising it was a new ಞgeneration.

In the initial--and strangely casual--announcement from Nintendo president Shuntaro Furukawa, he even avoided naming it, ꦫcalling it the "successor". But Switch 2 and New Switch aren't the only popular picks among fans, plenty are calling for it to be called the Super Nintendo Switch in the same vein as the SNES.

The Switch 2 Is Reportedly Backwards Compatible

While we don't know much about the Switch 2--including its name--insiders have shared some details about what the console might look like when we fin🐈💖ally get our hands on it.

Reportedly, it wiꦿll have backwards compatibility ౠfor both physical and digital games, meaning that you can transfer your existing Switch library over to the new hardware and keep on play🔴ing your favouritesও.

We might be waiting a little longer than we thougཧht for the Nintendo Switch❀ 2.

Others have claimed that the Switch 2 will be more of🐻 "an iteration" than a new generation, so it 🐼certainly makes sense that the new console would be backwards compatible.

And if it is in more an iteration, backed up by the fact th🔜at Furukawa said that it'd be more appropriate to call it the "Switch next model", it makes sense that Nintendo would avoid calling it the Switch 2. Super Nintendo Switch might not be as far-fetched an idea after all.
