I just thought of something. Assuming Nintendo Switch Online is carried over to the next Nintendo system, but if the next system drops the Switch name, will that also be the case for Nintendo Switch Online?

Yeah, the "online" part of the name will be transitioned to whatever the new system would be called since everything is now tied to your Nintendo account. But there honestly isn't a reason why Nintendo should abandon the Switch name. Because what name would work better than Switch? There's no way Nintendo is abandoning the Switch concept since they've struck historical gold, but also, because Nintendo's internal development teams are now united as one rather than separating the home system team and the handheld system team.

Maybe Nintendo could drop the Nintendo Switch Online name and have it simply be called Nintendo Online or something along those lines that's more general than being tied to a single console.
