They wanna make it very clear that this is their best-selling console ever but better, I would‘ve been surprised if they didn‘t just slap a 2 on it. There‘s so much riding on this for them.

I don't think Nintendo have ever done a Console 2 before though. I was hoping for Super Switch but as ever Nintendo absolutely refuse to be predictable!

[–] runner_g@lemmy.blahaj.zone 28 points 2 months ago (1 children)

I'm sure it was considered, but a console nicknamed SS was probably ruled out.

I don't think the Sega Saturn was particularly popular with neonazis

[–] Thassodar@lemm.ee 15 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Hmmm what about the Sega MASTER system?

[–] ivanafterall@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago

You mean the company known for titles like Sega Bass Fishing and Virtua Cop? Whose company color is blue? Yeah, they're not even subtle.

[–] Zorque@lemmy.world 9 points 2 months ago

To be fair, it wasn't especially popular with anyone.

I think you’d be surprised, Hitler The Dolphin was one of the best selling games of the era

I'd forgotten about the Sega Saturn. My only Sega console was the Genesis.

Yeah, I get that, I was just trying to say that the above is probably their reasoning in my mind. They‘re scared shitless to fuck the transition up, calling it „The Stuff You Guys Loved 2.0“ is the lowest risk move.

I like your Super Switch though lol

[–] smeg@feddit.uk 5 points 2 months ago (1 children)

I guess they really did learn from the WiiU!

[–] YarHarSuperstar@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago

Don't worry, I'm reading your sarcasm.

Nintendo Vers

Plus it's an actual straight upgrade, what with backwards compatibility and all.

[–] Zorque@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Partial backwards compatibility, based on their asterisk, at least.

[–] rbits@lemm.ee 3 points 2 months ago (1 children)

That's probably only referring to games like labo and ring fit

[–] Carighan@lemmy.world 1 points 2 months ago

Yeah it's going to be the same as PS4 on PS5. The disclaimer is on every game.

[–] dustyData@lemmy.world 3 points 2 months ago

I think that's still the DS. The Switch got close, but didn't beat it, and now that attention is on the Switch2, it probably won't.

[–] PlexSheep@infosec.pub 1 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Well they did just slap a 3 onto the DS

[–] lka1988@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 2 months ago

And then called the second gen 3DS the "New 3DS".
