Switch Go

I've had this feeling for years. Imagine an AR camera being the new gimmick. Compatible with Pokémon Go. It gets Switch owners out-n-about and on the 'Go'.
Nintendo is the king of indirect marketing (aka, when the consumers advertise their products for them) such as tradable Pokémon cards, the Wii advertised the system to family members who visit on Christmas and all play in the front room, and the Gameboy and DS where carried around in public automatically advertising it to others.
It would make sense that Nintendo will think of ways how the consumers can advertise the Switch 2 to others across society.

Imagine a water-gun fight in a park. But instead of real water guns, it's virtual water-gun fight running via AR camera on the Switch 2 screen.
I have a feeling AR will be the gimmick on the Switch 2, therefore the Switch Go's naming convention will be due to the success of Pokémon Go.
