Wasn't expecting it to actually be called "Switch 2", but I'm glad they stuck to a name that makes sense.

It's possibly the most normal successor name they've ever chosen. I like it. I'm picturing someone suggesting "Switch U" and getting thrown out the window like in that meme comic, even though he's often used as the voice of reason...

I still like Famicom > Super Famicom as the best successor name, but having to go back that far to find some competition for naming probably says something.

"Super Switch" would've been pretty bad-ass.

They can go the DBZ route and continue of of there. “Super switch 3, 4”, “Legendary super switch” etc etc.

With the habit they've developed of releasing upgraded versions inside a generation, especially already having Switch OLED, I think Super Switch would be too ambiguous.

Or "Switch Advance."

I think the acronym made that a sketchy choice. Even if Nintendo never used the acronym, the gaming community seems to use them extensively.
