This is according to information obtained by Famiboard user fwd-bwd. Take it and the other information with a grain of salt.

Also production has started meaning a reveal could be this week.

"This is brand new info from a Chinese forum poster who didn't have an insider track record, therefore the following is strictly for fun and giggles. Switch 2 production has started in [somewhere in China, which I don't want to translate] 1000 units per day [Edit: This is one worker, not the whole line.] Slightly larger than Switch 1 Smaller bezel Black and white Joy-Con Slightly larger logo, with "2" on the side"

I thought it was going to be called Nintendo Switch 3 or Switch The Sequel.

 

[cireza]

It true, this is the most boring/safe console Nintendo could make.

 

[RetroGamingUK]

Sensible move, Nintendo learning from BIG past mistakes.

I hope this goes a lot better than the DS > 3DS transition

 

[Nikodemos]

I thought it was going to be called Nintendo Switch 3 or Switch The Sequel.

The Switchening.

 

[adamsapple]

 

[AJUMP23]

Super Nintendo Switch would be a better choice.

 

[Woopah]

Why would you post this as if it was fact?

That post literally says:

"This is brand new info from a Chinese forum poster who didn't have an insider track record, therefore the following is strictly for fun and giggles."

 

[skyfinch]

Damn, spoiler alert!!

[TheDarkPhantom]

Wii U Part 2

 

[LordOfChaos]

Humungous, contingent on solid proof



This is bigger than when the PS5 Pro name leaked and it was PS5 Pro

 

[DonkeyPunchJr]

Should've been Switch U or New Nintendo Switch

 

[intbal]

Switcheroo would have been so much better.

 

[Vyse]

I thought it was going to be called Nintendo Switch 3 or Switch The Sequel.

I was thinking the Switcheroo!

 

[Fbh]

 

[Vyse]

Switcheroo would have been so much better.

Great minds my friend!

 

[Davevil]

I only have one dream, the reveal as soon as possible to put an end to all the rumors

 

[Hookshot]

I'd of called it the PlayStation 6, just to be annoying

 

[Herr Edgy]

I'd still prefer SWiitch U

 

[balls of snow]

Ninty dont wanna fumble this like they did the wiiu gen. Finally looking at playstation for tips.

 

[Bernoulli]

BREAKING
Nintendo Switch 2 games won't work on switch 1

 

[Unknown?]

I thought it was going to be called Nintendo Switch 3 or Switch The Sequel.

I was betting on Switch Advance or 1DS.

 

[Sooner]

The next Xbox is named Xbox Too.

Also, based on absolutely nothing and stated as fact.

 

[Guardian Monkey]

I'd of called it the PlayStation 6, just to be annoying

I believe Sony has already trademarked PlayStation 6 and 7 actually already.

Edit: Through 10 actually.

Sony files trademarks for PlayStation 6, 7, 8, 9 and 10

Sony Interactive Entertainment clearly believes the power of PlayStation isn't waning as it files trademarks for no les…

[DanielG165]

Shocking really.

 

[Sintoid]

I would call it Swiitch

 

[Duchess]

Microsoft would've called it the Switch 567

 

[Lokaum D+]

U should be named Game Rectangle.

 

[Warspite]

I wanted "Super Switch" but you can understand with the different type of consoles these days they want top avoid the Wii U confusion again.

Its more strange to see a gaming company learn from its mistakes.

 

[Mister Wolf]

Should have been Super Switch.

 

[Luipadre]

It true, this is the most boring/safe console Nintendo could make.

And the one that makes the most sense so... Everyone wants a switch 2

 

[Mister Wolf]

I can't wait to play Metroid Prime 4 on this thing.

 

[Cyborg]

Nintendo Switch: Part II

 

[Roufianos]

Wish they went with something dumb and pretentious like Switch Folie A Deux.

 

[OGM_Madness]

Super Switch could be seen as a Switch Pro.

If the idea is for it to be a new generation. Then "2" works.

They could also just change the name: Nintendo Router or Nintendo Modem

 

[FeralEcho]

Super Nintendo Switch would be a better choice.

Nintendo Switch Pro

But then they'd have to make it 700 dollars with no dock or joycons included.

 

[Davevil]

I can't wait to play Metroid Prime 4 on this thing.

I'd rather play on a toaster than that mock up in the photo

 

[SJRB]

Just call it

"The Switcher"

 

[justiceiro]

If this is true, means Nintendo as we knew and loved truly died with iwata.

 

[Chuck Berry]

It true, this is the most boring/safe console Nintendo could make.

Would you have preferred Switch U?

 

[BlackTron]

Super Nintendo Switch would be a better choice.

I have to admit while I agree this is better morally, so much so I said the same thing in the past and I wish it, Switch 2 is objectively the best name possible.

 

[Northeastmonk]

Nintendo Switch 2
Switch 2 Nintendo

Genius marketing.

 

[cireza]

Would you have preferred Switch U?

Personally I would have preferred something else than a simple iteration. Let's wait and see if this is true...

Switch 2 probably sells more.

 

[Deft Beck]

Shame, I was looking forward to the 2n2en2o Swi2ch.

 

[RaZoR No1]

Great minds my friend!

we must be connected somehow.
I had the same name as soon I read the title.


What about Switch One or Switch 360?

 

[cireza]

Super Switchtendo

Yeah. Maybe ? I don't know.

Something a bit more exciting than Switch 2, and we already know that we are getting some underpowered mobile hardware from 5 years ago. That's not the very definition of "exciting".
