In a recent interview following the Switch 2's presentation, Nintendo's Kouichi Kawamato shared that the company deliberated on the name 'Super Nintendo Switch'. The name was rejected due to potential confusion over legacy systems, since Switch 2 can play existing Switch games. This decision reflects Nintendo's desire for clear branding following the setbacks of the Wii U, where the naming similarity hindered its success. By opting for 'Switch 2', Nintendo seeks to ensure clarity and align with their successful practices.
"There were a lot of ideas for the name, and we really struggled to find the right one."
