But when I said that they were considered their own things, I was specifically referring to how Honda didn't use the Integra to replace the Civic, nor did they leave the Civic largely unchanged after introducing the Integra. Instead, they made new-gen Civics, then sold both that model and the Integra alongside each other. If the new console was "the same situation," that would mean that "Super Switch" and "next generation of the non-Super Switch" would have to be two separate products.You're right that they were considered their own things, and I'm saying the new console could be the same situation
I wasn't claiming that model year changes automatically equated to generational changes. But in many instances, these generational changes don't result in the nameplate permanently adding a descriptor among the lines of "Super" or "Advance." The 7th gen Corvette isn't even an exception to that rule: the Stingray brand has been used across multiple generations of that car. Manufacturers do indeed make a big deal about the "all-new (insert model here)" being new and better, but the name of the product still follows the convention of "2022 Honda Civic."And "2025 Nintendo Switch" doesn't apply when you consider that every year of a car is often identical or very close to the previous year with minimal new features offered on what is otherwise the exact same car. If we were to number Switches like that we'd be on Switch 7 by now. Generational changes in cars come like once a decade and have nothing to do with the year of the car
A lot of people on the internet really love to act like unbelievable pessimism or cynicism is the same thing as being smart; you see this all the time with gaming related discussions lol.Alright I just browsed Reddit and some people genuinely think it’s going to only have 8GB of ram, 4 a78 cores, and no (possibly) tensor or rt cores enabled on the die (a GTX version of the Ampere architecture effectively), like the ultimate “fuck our partners” machine. That would probably be what we would be talking about if we didn’t get that Nvidia leak. Peak “Nintendoom” specs that the wider gaming internet is probably expected.
There's no deeper meaning. Whoever made the google survey made a mistake. It was supposed to say just "Switch".Is it possible that Switch Attach is just the codename, like Switch is NX?
I wouldn't mind that. But as a marketing name, yeah, that would be horrible imo.
Yeah, I guess that's true. I forgot it came from the google survey. Nvm than.There's no deeper meaning. Whoever made the google survey made a mistake. It was supposed to say just "Switch".
Think about it, the question was "Which of these gaming products would you consider buying?"
Would anyone consider buying something that hasn't been announced?
Would a google employee making surveys know something only very few people within Nintendo knows?

Needs a handle on it. And some purple paint.this is almost exactly the next computer
Are small electropermanent magnets even fabricated? I only could find places where you buy pretty large onesNot if it uses electropermanent magnets. An electropermanent magnet only needs a pulse of electric current to switch the magnetic field on and off, and not a continuous electric current. If the system is powered off and the mechanism doesn't function independently of the main unit, I suppose the Joycons would simply remain in one state. If the magnetic field is off, you wouldn't be able to attach them to the console, and vice versa.
To avoid pinching, the mechanism could be designed in a way that the electric pulse is only generated if the Joycon is perfectly flush or aligned with the body of the console. You may still be able to pinch a thin paper between the two, but not part of a finger.
No, the codename(s) is known in private circles/by some people here. If it were that it would have probably came up already.Is it possible that Switch Attach is just the codename, like Switch is NX?

No, the codename(s) is known in private circles.
Even some Famiboards users know them.
Question for the people who know more about hardware manufacturing than I do: is it common for a video game company to disclose details about their next system to accessories makers months before said system goes into production?
Because from my non-expert impression, either the new rumors are fake, or the new console will be released sooner than expected. And since the Nikkei (arguably the most solid source when it comes to Nintendo hardware rumors) has stated that the next Nintendo console will be released next year, I'm inclined to believe that it will.
Maybe they just want to launch with a gazillion units.I'm not sure, but keep in mind that the whole thing about the hardware being fully ready and the delay being purely about the launch line-up could screw with this. If they don't delay the actual production then it could start surprisingly early.
Probably still wouldn't meet launch day demand, if we're being honest.Maybe they just want to launch with a gazillion units.
The more Fami has gone over it, the more iffy this leak from Mobapad has become, seems we don't have a consensus on how magnets would be implemented for the new controllers. Hopefully we can get someone like Brazil, Necrolipe or Nate to confirm such rumours but it seems like this circulated in Chinese forums so idk if their sources would catch wind of that.

Atleast more likely than Super Switch or Switch 2 imo.This has probably already been discussed, but given the recent rumors, this thing is 100% being called Switch Attach, isn't it?
I have no idea why Switch Attach has gained so much popularity as a name. It comes from a YouTube survey. There is absolutely no other evidence pointing to it being the final product name.This has probably already been discussed, but given the recent rumors, this thing is 100% being called Switch Attach, isn't it?
Oh boy, I remember something from last january, that may have been overlooked by many. But I remember @Machrider found a patent that was published in november 2022.Virtual Boy
3DS
Labo VR
Sure, you can say that Stereoscopic 3D or VR didn't had that much of an audience, but Nintendo still went through with this. Sure the Virtual Boy was a flop, and the 3D of 3DS wasn't much used by the playerbase iirc, they still went with Switch and Labo to some sort of VR goggles. Heck outside of those, and maybe developed by Namco, there was even an exclusive Mario Kart Arcade GP VR, and the gamecube had planned a cancelled LCD screen that had 3D capabilities for games like Luigi's Mansion.
And I still believe Nintendo wants to go through with the idea of 3D gaming.
I just want to grab back my previous post earlier today, and with what Nintendo had been doing through the years with 3D imaging, I do can see they'll make actual VR headset or maybe a Stereoscopic 3D Headset like my concept. I can be totally wrong ofcourse, due to there is a small fanbase for it, but Nintendo did experimented with it many times. Although I believe VR is prolly something what most of the fanbase isn't much fond of, as of hopes of new gimmicks and the like, Nintendo most of the time is all about great gameplay, and I do think Nintendo can make a good effort with VR actually.
Whether it be just the plain simple Stereoscopic 3D Headset, or a fully VR Headset, it is really what I like to see actually.
Just with what been reported about a new front button, gives me a bit of hope for this.
In comparison to Switch 2, which has no evidence at all. Also it‘d be kinda fitting if attaching things to it with magnets is its gimmick.I have no idea why Switch Attach has gained so much popularity as a name. It comes from a YouTube survey. There is absolutely no other evidence pointing to it being the final product name.
A google survey isn't evidence.In comparison to Switch 2 which has no evidence at all.

Switch 2 is a reasonable guess to make. Attach is a much more specific name.In comparison to Switch 2 which has no evidence at all.
Can third parties host surveys on YouTube? That would give it a bit more credibility. If it's just Google then there's no reason for Google to know an upcoming Nintendo product name.A google survey isn't evidence.
Not if you take the history of Nintendo into account.Switch 2 is a reasonable guess to make. "Switch Attach" is a much more specific name.
And a gut feeling that NG will have no gimmick and will be named 2 because of it is even less.A google survey isn't evidence.
I would say they're about equal. Both means nothing.And a gut feeling that NG will have no gimmick and will be named 2 because of it is even less.
This has probably already been discussed, but given the recent rumors, this thing is 100% being called Switch Attach, isn't it?
Anyway, we may know in less than 2 weeks.I would say they're about equal. Both means nothing.
Absence of evidence isn't the evidence of absence etc, but there's definitely absence of evidence of a gimmick.
Doubtful they reveal the name at an investor briefing. If anything they acknowledge its existence. And according to shareholder chad, thats more likely to happen at the one in June.Anyway, we may know in less than 2 weeks.
If we get it officially from Nintendo they‘d reveal it beforehand, or we could get it through a leak.Doubtful they reveal the name at an investor briefing. If anything they acknowledge its existence. And according to shareholder chad, thats more likely to happen at the one in June.
Not the name, especially not if it is connected to the gimmick.If we get it officially from Nintendo they‘d reveal it beforehand, or we could get it through a leak.
"Attach" honestly doesn't even sound like a codename. Thinking about the other home console codenames, none of them really directly connect to the "gimmick" of the system, it's more about the intentions of the system more than anything. Ultra 64 being focused on being more powerful 64 bit system, Dophin being a sleeker console that's faster to make games for, Revolution changing the overall approach to game design through motion controls, Cafe being a calm and casual console for the home and family, but even this major stretch in codename logic starts to fall apart with Nitro and Centrair (DS and 3ds respectively) and especially the NX.Switch 2 is a reasonable guess to make. Attach is a much more specific name.
Even if The Switch 2 gets the best possible specs, good ram, countless of partners developing for... They'll still bitched and call it underpower (despite the Switch being one of the most advance handheld in the market for it time) Also reddit is the absolute last place to discuss about Nintendo.Alright I just browsed Reddit and some people genuinely think it’s going to only have 8GB of ram, 4 a78 cores, and no (possibly) tensor or rt cores enabled on the die (a GTX version of the Ampere architecture effectively), like the ultimate “fuck our partners” machine. That would probably be what we would be talking about if we didn’t get that Nvidia leak. Peak “Nintendoom” specs that the wider gaming internet is probably expected.
It doesn't give it any credibility. You can literally make up shit for a survey.Can third parties host surveys on YouTube? That would give it a bit more credibility. If it's just Google then there's no reason for Google to know an upcoming Nintendo product name.
I hope you're right. This waiting feels so eternal... There has to be a stop eventuallyAnyway, we may know in less than 2 weeks.
Well they decided to put out a full English article.We, like everyone else, are eagerly anticipating accurate information about the Switch 2!
In the process of developing the next-generation console controller, Mobapad has also acquired a lot of firsthand information about the Switch 2, and now we're here to share it with everyone.
Additionally, below the HOME button on the right Joy-Con, there is an additional function button!
- The Switch 2 will continue to support existing Joy-Cons and the Pro Controller, still equipped with ALPS dual-axis linear motors for HD rumble.
- The cartridge slot of the Switch 2 will support backward compatibility with physical Switch game cartridges, ensuring compatibility with players' existing game libraries, including digital versions. However, the second-generation cartridges may not be compatible with the first-generation console.
- The new version of Joy-Con has a larger volume, and the sliding rail structure has been changed to magnetic suction. The SL and SR buttons are metal buttons. Magnetic suction is achieved through electromagnetic suction technology, controlled by electric current. It's worth noting that, in addition to the L, ZL, R, and ZR buttons on the sides of the Joy-Con controller, a third button has been added on both the left and right sides.
These are just some of the hardware information we've got, and not the full extent.
- The bottom of the Switch 2 will still feature a USB-C port for docking, and the new generation dock will undergo minor changes in appearance while enhancing performance, supporting 4K resolution.
- The new dock will feature a damping bracket on the back, allowing for a greater range of adjustable angles.
- The screen will be upgraded to an 8-inch display, supporting 1080P resolution.
From a hardware perspective, the Switch 2 inherits the dual-mode feature of its predecessor, continuing Nintendo's conservative approach to hardware.
Reflecting on Nintendo's history, from the original FC to the groundbreaking GB series, followed by the NDS, 3DS series, and the Wii, Wii U, and finally the Switch, the company has always adhered to the concept of creating unique entertainment experiences.
We have every reason to believe that Nintendo will bring more innovative gameplay to the Switch 2, as seen in the advancements in the controller design.
For example, what functions will the third button on the side of the controller serve? What special features will the additional button below the HOME button offer? There is much room for imagination, and while we don't know yet, there are certainly new features and gameplay innovations to anticipate!
We welcome everyone to join us in speculating and discussing.
Mobapad is actively developing next-generation console peripherals, aiming to provide customer with better product experiences as soon as possible, while continuing to support product upgrade services.
We remain committed to solving customer problems, maintaining a drive for continuous innovation, and providing users with better products and services!

How can one resist when the fingers are so cronchy?lol. Way to bite the hand that feeds them
If they're not a licensed acessory manufacturer, then they wouldn't give a shit. Though if they knew details, it would mean a licensed partner is leaking details. This could have a knock on effect with accessories coming out latelol. Way to bite the hand that feeds them
There was actually a new leak 20 pages ago supposedly from accessory makers about Nintendo let them touch it and that it uses magnets and having extra buttons.I thought something groundbreaking was found about the new hardware which warranted 10+ pages since yesterday, but 90% of it is just talking about a possible crappy name for the new system. I am disappointed in you all.
Thw tweet from mochizuki was 3 month ago.There was actually a new leak 20 pages ago supposedly from accessory makers about Nintendo let them touch it and that it uses magnets and having extra buttons. And mochizuki tweeted about Nintendo apparently ordering 10M displays for the new Switch in this fiscal year.
But the magnet made someone remember that "Switch attach" survey and the "2 or DOA" hyperboles came back yet again to derail the thread.
