Resolution Criteria

This market will resolve based on the official name announced by Nintendo for their next major gaming console (the successor to the Nintendo Switch). The announcement must come from an official Nintendo source, such as a press release, Nintendo Direct, or official social media channels.

When adding answers, please ensure that your answer is one specific unique name. For example:

  • Nintendo Switch 2 ✅

  • Has a number in the name 🚫

  • Switch Attach ✅

  • A name that has previously been rumored 🚫

For the purposes of this market, the word "Nintendo" is ignored. For example, "Switch Attach" and "Nintendo Switch Attach" are identical. Answers that differ only by the word "Nintendo" will be deemed duplicated and invalidated. If the name is "Switch 2", that would resolve in favor of "Nintendo Switch 2". If the name is "Nintendo Swiitch", that would resolve in favor of "Swiitch".

Spelled-out numbers and numerals are also considered identical. If the name is "Nintendo Switch Two", that will resolve in favor of "Nintendo Switch 2".

The close date is provisional and may be extended if the correct resolution is not known by market close.

Considerations

  • Nintendo has historically used varied naming conventions for their consoles, from sequential numbering (NES, SNES) to completely new names (Wii, Switch)

  • The company sometimes uses working titles during development that differ from the final product name (e.g., "Revolution" became "Wii")

  • Trademark filings may appear before the official announcement but may not reflect the final product name

  • Update 2024-28-12 (PST): - Symbols are not considered equivalents to words. For example, “Switch Plus” is not the same as “Switch +” and will resolve as distinct answers. (AI summary of creator comment)

  • Update 2024-29-12 (PST) (AI summary of creator comment): - "Nintendo Super Switch" resolves to "Super Nintendo Switch"

    • "Nintendo Switch Super" resolves to Other (or a new option)

how would "Nintendo Switch Super" or "Nintendo Super Switch" resolve?

@retr0id "Nintendo Super Switch" resolves to "Super Nintendo Switch", "Nintendo Switch Super" resolves to Other (or a new option)

“Spelled-out numbers and numerals are also considered identical. If the name is "Nintendo Switch Two", that will resolve in favor of "Nintendo Switch 2".”

Does this extend to symbols? I.e. “Switch Plus” = “Switch +” ?

bought Ṁ100 NO

"switch 2" is such a boring name. nintendo, the company of whimsical fun and childlike wonder, would never pick a name so clinical.

you know what else ended in a 2? that's right, SARS-CoV-2

bought Ṁ50 YES

@Robincvgr not sure why your limit order wasn’t triggered here (I bought it back up to 56% myself)

@snazzlePop i was out of mana

@Robincvgr just fyi, if you’re ever looking for a loan, there exists a black loan market: [🕵️LOAN🤫LAND💸](https://discord.com/channels/915138780216823849/1194385337510797432)

@snazzlePop thank you for pointing me there!

@jim Did the 3DS look different to the DS? Just because "Switch 2" looks similar to Switch 1, doesn't mean it lacks a distinguishing feature 🏮🏮

opened a Ṁ10,000 NO at 1.0% order

just opened a limit order ;)

So Nintendo will stick to doing something weird and unexpected by, this time round, actually doing what would be expected of any other manufacturer? Cunning.

bought Ṁ10 YES

I'm going to be so disappointed when this isn't the name.

there are roughly a 200 possible names and no particular reason to favor switch 2 🤷

@jim https://www.reddit.com/r/NintendoSwitch2/comments/1hdvb2d/comment/m21dt4o/

Conditional on trusting the r/NintendoSwitch2 mods' verification abilities, Switch 2 is very likely the name. Do I trust that the r/NintendoSwitch2 mods aren't being fooled? No, it's definitely not 100%, not even 80%. But Switch 2 being the name is far from unsupported

(FYI I'm not the one who disliked you)

bought Ṁ1 YES
