It's alright, but as long as it's not associated with Wii, I can't complain.



"Just for comparison Uncharted 4 was 20x bigger than Splatoon 2. This shows the huge difference between Sony's first-party games and Nintendo's first-party games."

No, the name is awful. But it's an improvement over WiiU. At least we know why it's called Switch, because you can switch it from home console to handheld, or viceversa.

Yes, but gaming is never about functionality.  It's all about fun and coolness.  People swtich out underware most everyday (I hope).  So.....

It has a nice ring to it, and trailer did show what Switch means to the console.



Pocky Lover Boy!

I think it suits the console fine.

Pretty straight forward name tbh no real issue with it.

I think the name is a perfect fit for the system. Seeing how Nintendo totally bombed on other system names, it could have been much worse. I also liked the way Nintendo is not pushing the little kid angle in the marketing/reveal video. Actual grown-ups were used. Maybe Nintendo is starting to realize older people play there games.



   

Hey! They got SONY on my amiibo! Wait a minute. Two great gaming tastes that game great together!

I think Nintendo Xross would have been better.

I like it! In the universe of BDSM, top is the dominant, bottom is the submissive. The person who likes to play both roles is the switch, sometimes refered as versatile. Way to go, Nintendo! You little dirty company!

No, but it's better than the Wii U. At least we can make connections as to why it's named "switch".

"Wii" I like.  "Wii U" is like a bad sequel.  "Switch" is like naming your kid "Norman" or "Clarence."  Really, who does that to a console?

I think that NX would have been better and I think Nintendo misinterpreted NX as Kimishima said he didn't get to ask Iwata what it meant. I think NX meant Nintendo Cross (mix of handheld and console) but Nintendo screwed it up. Oh well.
