They could have at least gone with "Super Switch" or something like that.

They tried something similar with the New Nintendo 3DS but a lot of people got confused.

Sure, "new" is probably one the worst words you could use. But I don't think "super" would be better. And even if they did use "super" how do you name the next console ?

The Switch is already the first 64bit Nintendo console since the N64, so calling the second one Switch 64 would be a wonderful farce.
