Following its big Switch 2 presentation, Nintendo revealed in an interview with the team behind the console that one of the (arguably better) names the company was considering before it landed on Switch 2 was "Super Nintendo Switch.

The Nintendo Switch 2 nearly had a very different name, in what would have been a 30-year throwback. Following on from the Nintendo Switch 2 Direct, Nintendo has revealed more information about the development of the Nintendo Switch 2 in a series of developer interviews.

We even considered ideas like ‘Super Nintendo Switch.’ However, Super NES, which came out after the NES, couldn’t play NES games. Since Switch 2 can play Switch games, it didn't feel right to use the same naming convention as Super NES.
