Games Inbox: What will the next Nintendo console be called?

The Tuesday letters page is worried about the sudden spate of video game redundancies, as one reader thinks EA Sports FC 24 has had a good launch.

Name gamesSo, while most people are more interested about when the Switch 2 is going to be announced, the other big issue for me is what is it going to be called? Switch 2 is obvious but that alone seems like a reason why it won’t be that. Logical and obvious and two of the things that Nintendo hates the most, as we all know.

But if it’s not the Switch 2, what will it be? Everyone expects it to look like the current Switch but be more powerful but what if it has another gimmick as well? That’s a whole different discussion but assuming it is at least roughly similar surely they wouldn’t go with Nintendo Shift or something that meant basically the same thing?

I don’t think so, which I think makes the two most likely choices the Super Nintendo Switch or the Nintendo Switch Advance. Both are terms they’ve successfully used before, and I think make it fairly clear this is a brand new console. After the whole Wii U debacle though will they worry it’s still not as clear as it could be? Could Nintendo still end up just calling it Switch 2, even though I suspect they don’t really want to?
