I leave a tab of this thread open when I'm working.
today a guy who works with me asked what in the world I keep reading so much here.
I didn't know what to answer.
About the name, we had:
The next step is:
- Nintendo 64
- Nintendo 65 (Gamecube)
- Nintendo 66 (Wii)
- Nintendo 67 (WiiU)
- Nintendo 68 (Switch)
Everybody will love to play with their 69!

I'm thinking Nintendo Switch X2 for some reason.
NX2
Times 2
Extra and two.
Stylised in superscript in the logo.
Edit: or maybe "2E" - "Second Edition".
Points at PlayStation numbering consoles and all major phones from Apple, Samsung, and Google.. or OS systems like WindowsSwitch 2 is as descriptive as calling the Lite and OLED as Switch 1.1 and Switch 1.2.
It just tells there's something new, not why anyone should care.
"New gen" means a lot for gaming enthusiasts, but for the general public the point of reference is phones, tablets, TVs, cars, etc. They wouldn't bat an eye if console revisions were called new generations (e.g. DS 2nd gen and DS 3rd gen instead of DS Lite and DSi).
And if Nintendo can't even convey it's a new generation without putting that in the name, they failed really hard on their marketing already.
Madden not coming is more of a storage thing, right? Sports games do not have complex CPUs.. So I imagine GPU is the biggest bottleneck usually.simple, it won't get madden like the switch doesn't now. problem solved!
With smart phones, there's been Iike a 2x increase in performance every 3 years, and after 4-5 years it's gonna be like a console leap. Most people know this subconsciously.I know the new iPhone is better than last year's, but if I'm not planing on buying a new phone or if I'm an Android user, why should I care?
I think I'm the only one who want a neomorphismic designWhat are ya'lls hopes for the switch successor UI? I'd honestly love to see a total creative make-over, with creative icons, popping colors, and flashy easter eggs. But at the absolute bare minimum, I really want cool themes. Themes alone would give the new ui immeasurable amounts of more life than the current switch.
Even if it is tongue in cheek, it is the first tangible and well-documented effort at naming the next console in this thread. Well done, Sir.About the name, we had:
The next step is:
- Nintendo 64
- Nintendo 65 (Gamecube)
- Nintendo 66 (Wii)
- Nintendo 67 (WiiU)

British Switch 2I got it! The Nintendo…Switchblade
Nintendo Svitch would work perfectly in some countries.Nintendo Swivtch
Nintendo Snitch!Since the current rumour is that it will have a camera, I could see the name playing around it.
Since everyone wants a boring old hardware upgrade. How about
PowerSwitch..because is just a more powerful switch.
Re up those old “now you are playing with power” commercials?You tell me that we would be playing with power then?
“You want power? Hit the switch!”Re up those old “now you are playing with power” commercials?
Yes?!
The question isn't that PS4 won't get left behind, it's what it will be left behind for. You're assuming it's for PS5/XBS-only titles, when another possibility is about to enter the field and has been written off as not in consideration. I would hesitate to make that claim. Like I look at Dragon's Dogma 2 and Kunitsu-Gami, beautiful games to be sure, but nothing I'm seeing strikes me as being totally out of reach for PS4... but they're the first titles they've released that aren't cross-gen in the past 3 years and it happens that they're releasing in 2024. Isn't that the same year a new Nintendo hardware release is being pegged for? HUH, curious, what could that possibly mean?PS4/X1 have hung around longer than expected, but now that the current gen consoles have built up a respectable userbase it only makes sense that more and more third parties will leave those old consoles in the past going forward. Maybe the idea of ten year generations isn't so unrealistic after all. PS4 and X1 still sell a lot of software and the Switch is still going strong in its seventh year on the market. With that said, at some point PS4/X1 will be left behind, and it seems to me this will be the last year they see a lot of support.

Looks like it's not much new, besides them showing a tech demo that consisted of a souped up BOTW.Further reports about Switch 2 at Gamescom

Good point, yeah.I would say Eurogamer stating that Nintendo tries to release it sooner than H2 2024 is also of interest.
(If i missed this being old news, i'm not sorry. I'm never sorry.)

I mean..it’s confirmation that Switch 2 was there coming from an actual reputable source for one.Looks like it's not much new, besides them showing a tech demo that consisted of a souped up BOTW.
Also they're seemingly leaving the door open for an earlier 2024 release now too.

I really, really hope that souped-up demo of BOTW makes it out to the public at some point in some form or capacity. The snippet on timing is also very interesting, I would always welcome an earlier release as long as the stock situation is somewhat manageable. Very exciting times!Further reports about Switch 2 at Gamescom

There have been a ton of rumors about it at gamescom from plenty of good sources. I figure most people following this thread would have kept up with it so not much else is all that new in the article.I mean..it’s confirmation that Switch 2 was there coming from an actual reputable source for one.
Also always love the “nothing new except for that one part that’s new” line lol.
I’ve been following this thread. No one has come out and said it was actually there and shown to developers. We just got told it wasn’t shown to press.There have been a ton of rumors about it at gamescom from plenty of good sources.

@NateDrake a little while ago you told us that developers weren’t shown new hardware at Gamescom. Since Eurogamer is reporting on it now, was it something you didn’t know about or prefered not to disclouse?Further reports about Switch 2 at Gamescom

One ‘Switch 2’ demo is understood to have been an improved version of the Switch launch title Zelda: Breath of the Wild, running at a higher framerate and resolution than the original game did, on hardware targeting the new console’s specs (but there was no suggestion the game will actually be re-released.)
Another VGC source claimed that Nintendo showcased Epic’s impressive The Matrix Awakens Unreal Engine 5 tech demo – originally released to showcase the power of PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X in 2021 – running on target specs for its next console.
The demo is said to have been running using Nvidia’s DLSS 3.5 upscaling technology, with advanced ray tracing enabled and visuals comparable to Sony and Microsoft’s current-gen consoles.
So that part about DLSS 3.5 gave me the biggest "Hol' up for one second" of this entire year. Holy shit that caught me off guard.Sources: Nintendo showed Switch 2 demos at Gamescom | VGC

There are no details about the exact resolution/framerates.So, a 4k/60 fps BotW ? Dunno, doesn't feel very delightful or impressive to me, does it ?
