Please take my perfect with a saltmine of salt. I meant it as a way of experience, usability. My OLED is a total asshat that gets warm and turns off while in stand by for no real reason. For this I sold my release day switch.
i mean, this is also a handled. if we look at the way they name their handhelds then switch 2 may not be it, but switch extra or switch (new feature here) would be very in line with their names. Nintendo ds, ds lite, 3ds, others? Gameboy, Gameboy color, Gameboy advance, Gameboy advance sp - particularly egregious.
I mean Gameboy to Gameboy Color. DS to DSi. They were the same machine with improved specs to the point where the new one had unique games that couldn’t run on the old hardware.
They said “home consoles”, which is still a bunk claim. The Wii was, internally, an upgraded GameCube that could still play GC games using GC controllers and memory cards; and then Wii got its own upgrade…
Im guessing its differentiated on te basis that neither new entry supported the previous’ titles or peripherals. It is more an iterative improvement than a new console

Okay my thesis on this:
Nintendo perfected the Handheld gaming console with the switch.
This thing is the first time ever that Nintendo upgraded an existing home console.
I hope they don’t fuck up the naming
Maybe you forgot about the Wii - > WiiU?
The problem was that the WiiU wasn’t just a hardware upgrade, which is why the name was horrible and completely misrepresented what it was.
They didn’t perfect shit, that thing had tons of problems not the least of which is that it’s super breakable

Super Switch, Switch Advance, Switcharoo… as long as it isn’t SwitchPLUS or reSwitch or even SwitchON… or Swiitch… or NewNintendoSwitch…
The NS One

What about NES>SNES or N64>Gamecube
Neither of those updates was revolutionary, imo

Yeah, it’s pretty normal for Nintendo to make a slight improvement every two consoles. Also see the Wii and Wii U.
They weren’t upgrading existing ones. The DD I guess did.
