Switch2 is impossible, and switch pro conflicts! What's the name of the new switch

Recently, at Nintendo's financial report meeting, the company's CEO strongly suggested that the next generation of game consoles would be more like an evolutionary version of Switch than a new product.

According to David Gibson, an industry analyst, at Nintendo's recent financial report meeting, Juntaro Gukawa, president, said when answering the question about whether the new host computer would be a new product, "Switch next (switch) model is the appropriate way to describe it".

In fact, people have long expected that the next generation of Switch is iterative rather than revolutionary. The leaked news, rumors and reports all point to the more powerful, clearer screen, larger size or larger version of Switch, rather than the new Switch game console.

According to the recent news released by the reliable uncle Dang Shijia's aunt, Nintendo has talked with developers such as Atlas and Sega in the past few years, and the next generation model of Switch is called Switch2 or New Switch.

But she added that this may not be the final name. It's just a name to facilitate the communication between the two companies, so it's estimated that the final name of switch2 will be released by Nintendo. However, players do not have to wait until the end. According to the general practice, Nintendo must register a trademark for the new machine before it is announced, to prevent it from being snapped up and used falsely. Of course, Nintendo may announce the official name of switch2 in advance before the trademark registration is published.

It is said that the development code of its switch2 is "Ounce", which means the unit of weight in ounces. However, there are also rumors that Nintendo has changed the internal code of switch2 many times during the development period to prevent it from being discovered in advance by data miners.

In fact, in the rumors of subsequent models of switch, the name was changed several times. At the beginning, everyone agreed that the new opportunity of switch was switch pro. However, according to the rumors later, switch pro was not finally launched, but it was directly changed to switch 2, which is now recognized by everyone.

So what's the name of this brand new machine? Let me analyze it first.

First of all, it is certain that the prefix of the new machine will continue to use the switch. After all, this is not a new platform. The relationship between the new machine and the switch is actually the relationship between the wii and the wiiU. Therefore, the new machine will be named with switch prefix+suffix. For example, the previous switch OLED is a good example.

At present, there is a high probability that switch2, which everyone likes to use, will not be adopted, because from the perspective of Nintendo's mainframe product career, there are almost no hardware named by numbers. Because Nintendo always likes to toss around the name of the host, the name of the general host will not be simply named by code+number. Therefore, the basic probability will not use the name switch2.

Traditionally, the naming of the new machine will definitely highlight the functions or play methods of the new host, and even add some homophonic stems and puns. For example, the name of the WiiU is because the WiiU has added split screen interaction and can support multiple people to play together. Therefore, the style of the WiiU is homophonic we you. The original name of the wii is also because it can be played by many people together, so it is homophonic we. In addition, the wii also highlights the happy feeling when the body sense is wielded.

The name of switch is more interesting. At first, switch literally means to switch, which just reflects that switch is a dual form of host and handheld, which can switch playing methods anytime and anywhere.

Although the screen of switch2 is indeed larger than that of switch2, I think that in the 3DS era, such as * * XL and New * *, it should not be used. It is too perfunctory, and it is too easy to guess. Nintendo always likes surprises.

So how will switch2 be named? First of all, switch2 is more powerful in performance and has a larger screen. Therefore, the name switch Pro is more consistent with the positioning of the machine and the style of Nintendo, and it can also well continue the naming of Switch OLED. However, the biggest problem with this name is that it will conflict with the switch pro handle. When searching for related words, multiple results will be generated.

The most popular switch next after the official announcement recently also has great opportunities. But if it is finally called Switch next, it means that Nintendo is really out of ideas.

What do you think is the name of the new switch? Let's talk together!
