The jury is still out on whether Nintendo’s next console will be called “Switch 2” or opt for something else. After all, Nintendo hasn’t been exactly consistent with naming its consoles.
The Nintendo Entertainment System was replaced by the Super Nintendo Entertainment System, but the next console was the Nintendo 64. It then moved on to the GameCube, Wii, Wii U, and Switch, so no one knows how the next Nintendo console will be called. .
However, the UK’s Competition and Markets Authority (CMA) appears to have leaked that a Switch successor is in the works, and it would feature the Nintendo Switch Online service seen on Switch. In a document recently released by the CMA, Nintendo’s cloud gaming efforts for the Nintendo Switch and a redacted device are mentioned.
