Nintendo: General Discussion

Obviously the above screenshot is fake. It's concept art from years ago of what Miiverse on Switch might look like. I said "Rumour of the Playtest Program is that it's a Miiverse successor on Switch 2."

Nobody's going to have screenshots of the new Miiverse, if it's real.

But just typical.

Don't presume what I "realised", because it's BS. I returned when you, as usual, tried to pick apart and criticise my post. "Typical and not surprising."

I'm on Discord and other forums where I seen this and it's been discussed, hours before I posted here. But no, I got "duped"(that's how it's spelled btw). It's just a concept image as there are no real images.

My point was that Miiverse could be returning. 🤞 I loved Miiverse, a lot of people never got to experience it. It will be a real feather in the cap of Switch 2 if it happens.

Keep at it, and I'm going to block you.

The only thing I was interested from the Game Freak hack is that Switch 2 is supposedly codenamed Ounce.

But we've heard that before from a previous rumour, where Switch 2 is codenamed "Muji", which translates from Japanese to "Ounce". So we're no better off than we were.

I've been discussing this elsewhere. If it's keeping the same form factor, the same NSO, it's backwards compatible with Switch, then it would make sense to just go with Switch 2. Making it clear that it's a new system. It's what a lot of companies do.

The last thing Nintendo would want is a repeat of their disastrous marketing for Wii U. It was dead on arrival, the marketing and naming was so bad.

I think it will be Switch 2, as Nintendo aren't going to abandon the zeitgeist that is the Switch branding. Calling it the Super Switch or similar, runs the risk of confusing the market.

I think they'll do a couple of other things to make it clear to consumers. The Joy-Cons will be larger, have SNES coloured buttons. They might go with white for marketing the system, like Wii.

If it was a personal preference, I'd go with something like Super Switch instead of Switch 2. But going the numerical route makes it really clear to the uninitiated.
