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!

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

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

Hmmm what about the Sega MASTER system?

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.

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

I guess they really did learn from the WiiU!

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