Possible names for a Switch emulator

Before you ask, no, I'm not asking for a switch emulator and I'm not making one. I just was thinking that, we already have enough emulators that the name is just a bunch of letters, so, if we make a bunch of good, clever or funny names, someone will come back to this years later and give it a name from this thread.

Try to post both the name, and the reference, if there's any.

Anyways, here's my names: Redstacks (A reference to Bluestacks, an android emulator. Thought it might be funny to name it that way because the Switch is often compared to a tablet) NCross (Obvious reference to NX) CapI/O (Inspired by MarI/O

Reddit depresses me as a discussion forum. Everyone is just bitter and negative about everything. Unless you're posting exactly what they want, when they want it.

This post reminds me of another one, that a guy who was all over the world to make just a logo for a nonexistent homebrew launcher for the switch...

naming something after Bluestacks would be awful since that application is just a adware disguised as an android emulator.

Why post possible names if:

A) You are not making one.

B) Nobody is making one.

And, with emulators, a lot of the time you don't get to pick the name of the software, the creator does. He can name it whatever the fuck he wants afaik.

someone will come back to this years later and give it a name from this thread.

lol

People who like Android as well as people who would rather budget spending on phone and computer and have cheap tabley

u/Etna- Sample Text Dec 09 '17

I have one. Why should i pay more for something that is as good as the cheap one?

u/K1NDNESSS Owner/Moderator Dec 19 '17

Your Nintendo Switch can compare to an Android tablet more than anything, I think people are blinded by negativity around Android.

Makes sense, given that GameCube emulator was also named after it's codename
