The person in charge mentioned that the project was officially launched in 2019, but before that they had started information collection.The Switch 2 is Nintendo's game console launched again after nearly 8 years.

"We wanted to use the 'Super Nintendo Switch' as ​​the name. However, Switch 2 supports backward compatibility, but SNES (Super NES) does not support backward compatibility. Therefore, we don't feel that it is appropriate to use host naming methods like SNES."

Hiroichi Kawamoto further explained: "The Switch 2 is a new console with improved performance, but we hope that the players who get it will not only focus on its specifications, but regard it as the latest console developed by Nintendo. We hope this new model will be the new benchmark for Nintendo's Switch."

"From the beginning of development, we hoped that Switch 2 would be a gaming console for players to enjoy. This has not changed from Switch to Switch 2. We also wanted to create an experience that can be enjoyed by as many players as possible, rather than a special one for those who like high-performance hardware."

Doda Satohiro said that Nintendo wants players to know clearly that the latest version is 2, so it’s right to buy 2.After several proposal discussions, the team unanimously agreed to the name "Nintendo Switch 2".
