It will be something not used by Nintendo before, or their big competitors. I'm not expecting New or Pro. I don't think Super would be good if this is only a mid-gen upgrade. Super would go back to the Super NES, which was a successor to the NES. If Nintendo uses Super again for a console, it should be for a Switch 2.

I think it's going to be
Nintendo Switch Plus
or
Nintendo Switch Deluxe

Nintendo Switch Deluxe sounds very possible.

I was going to say "New Nintendo Switch", but that would be the same as New Nintendo 3DS.

I’m betting on a simple replacement/phasing out of the hybrid, Nintendo Switch, plain simple.

The biggest issue in their way is naming it something that gives them room for their next gen device to have success. If they name it Super Switch, then enough people will buy it thinking it is the next gen device and therefore their actual next device will be in a similar situation with the Wii U (if it has a Switch based name). The name needs to convey that it is geared towards the hardcore while not confusing kids and parents come next gen launch.

Rumors are currently pointing to Super Nintendo Switch, however, given that we now know that Nintendo intends to replace the OG switch with the revision, similar to the DS Lite -> DSi. A "Super" prefix would potentially connotate its place as a successor rather than a model revision, similar to the SNES, or otherwise imply that it is a more high-end model, which as Nintendo intends on having it be the new standard, would also be somewhat misleading. For those reasons, I'm currently leaning towards it being the "new" Nintendo Switch
