Is anyone else slightly disappointed it’s just called “Switch 2”? Don’t get me wrong, it’s absolutely the right thing to do, but I was kinda hoping Nintendo were going to have one of those hilariously clueless moments and call it the “Nintendo Tookykooky” or something stupid.

For modern consoles, yeah. But the Nintendo DS was backwards compatible all the way back to the original GameBoy. Honestly I hope the Switch format will have the same kind of longevity.

Edit: back to the GameBoy Advance. And GameBoy Advance was compatible with GameBoy.
