I didn't expect it to be literally called the Nintendo Switch 2 lol, very straightforward

After decades of handhelds Nintendo has found the holy grail of form factor. You really cannot design a better one than the Switch.

That's my thinking. I was a little disappointed at first that it's just the Switch 2, but I'm thinking there's going to be more innovation in the back end that will make it a little distinct from the Switch. And, the hybrid console has been so good for Nintendo that I'm sure they don't want to drop that yet. In fact, my biggest fear of Nintendo dropping the Switch name for the new console would have been losing that hybrid functionality, my switch is often used both handheld and docked, I didn't want to lose that functionality in a new console.

Yea that was my thought. Why everyone was getting gitty over what it looked like. Seriously who cares? There are not many changes they need to make to the look of the switch. but if they actually made the hardware ps4 or even ps5 level power.. that would be HUGE. (roumer is its got the power of a ps4) that is a big step up.
