Nintendo Switch 2 Official Announcement Trailer
Right on the night of Thursday, January 16th, Nintendo officially announced their next successor console. Unlike their usual habits, this console is given the number "2" as a prefix.
This immediately confirms Nintendo's characteristic of being reluctant to "play it safe". They don't want to rely on "formulas" and often break the status quo which has proven to have a high track record of success.
On the one hand, those who have been waiting for official news for quite some time console This feels confirmed by the naming that has already been widely circulated among gaming industry activists.
However, on the other hand, Nintendo's "puritan" fanboys feel that this naming has "tainted the sanctity" of naming the console line-up. Nintendo which never adopted a sequential numbering system.
They consider that this kind of numbering seems to imitate the console competitors who have already implemented it on their various products. Moreover Nintendo Switch Firstly there is no “One” frill either.
Just look at PlayStation, which likes to sort their console line-up from the smallest number to the largest. Or there are also more complex systems, such as what Xbox did with its “360” and “One” products.
These “hardcore” fanboys actually hope that the successor to the Switch will get a name that matches the company’s retro identity, such as “Super Nintendo Switch” or “Nintendo Switch Advance”.
