So, it's an announcement for an announcement? We don't know anything about it, other than that it's in development.

- 3: No untagged game spoilers. If the game was recently released or not released at all yet, use the Spoiler tag (the little ⚠️ button) in the body text, and avoid typing spoilers in the title. It should also be avoided to openly talk about major story spoilers, even in old games.

MODERATORS
They are announcing that they are ready to announce the announcing of a future announcement of further announcements.
Maybe they'll actually upgrade the hardware to be half decent on this thing, if they want to discourage piracy, make better shit. If I want to play any switch games currently, I'll just pirate them and play it on the steam deck.
I think Nintendo is dancing into dangerous territory here. I have a feeling this thing is going to be loaded with anti-features here specifically designed to curtail modding, piracy, and even unlicensed peripherals. The games themselves are going to get HD re-re-eleases and Nintendo will charge you full price again for the moderate upgrade.
They got so cheesed after Nvidia shipped the device with the RCM exploit.
The steam deck isn't successful for nothing. It's the ultimate open mobile gaming platform
Sold my switch for a deck 🤷your move Nintendo
I'm betting on a game streaming service
So everything as usual
I hope they follow tradition and call it the Super Switch
How about the Swiitch? You get the roman numeral 2 in there and the name's similar enough to the original Switch, so customers will be confused as to whether this is a new console or an iteration of the current one. Just like the Wii U!
The Super Nintendo Entertainment Switch
Or Ultra Switch, as a throwback to the 64's name before it was officially announced, which also means lots of Ultra games.
Nah, Switch U or go home.
No u
Switch OLED
Super Switchtendo
It's an Nvidia chip, so Switch Super.
Who am I kidding, if they followed Nvidia it'd be Switch AI.
Super Switch 4064 Ti Super Ti (one is pronounced T-I, the other is "tie")
SwitchU, if anything.
Switch Advanced
I don’t think they’re in a hurry to repeat the WiiU
How is that tradition? It happened one time. Successor name suffixes and prefixes used: super, color, advance, mini, 64, i, 3, new, u. It could be anything.
Edit: ah no, there was also super game boy, I guess that's the only one they repeated. But that was specifically for super NES compatibility.
Do "i", "mini" and "new" really count as new consoles? i and new were just upgrades to the same console, I believe, and I'm not sure what "Mini" was even for..
I mean, they were direct successors. I imagine the next console won't be something completely different than the switch, so I imagine I will be some sort of switch 2.
None of those were direct successors, though
Uh, there was a GameBoy Micro, but that's the closest that comes to mind.
Oops yes I meant the micro, not mini
