Rumour: Switch 2’s Codename Believed To Be In Latest Pokémon Data Leak

@UltimateOtaku91 People these days just regurgitate what they’ve heard someone else say rather than do research for themselves. The codename for the Switch successor was leaked earlier this year as “Oz.”

Now, when people see that they initially refer to the measurement associated with those two letters together which is “Ounce.”

Traditionally without fail, Nintendo always does one of two things for the code name of their next-gen console.

1. It refers to the names of the chips used in the device.

or…

2. The form-factor, functionality, or purpose of the device.

Now, in some way “Ounce” could do one of those things. I just don’t logically see how. I do however see this.

The code name isn’t “Ounce.” The code name is “OZ” as in ‘The Wizard of Oz.’

What was ‘The Wizard of Oz’ most known for? Using his genius intellect and technology to make himself look bigger and more impressive than he actually was.

What have we heard so far about the Switch 2? That the raw horsepower is modest compared to the current-gen, but with DLSS upscaling and Ray-Tracing the games may give the APPEARANCE of being close to, if not on-par with the current-gen consoles.

To me that makes the most sense. It could also be why they are waiting so long. If the Switch 2 can actually do that, then they know that there is no hurry because nothing released in the near future will be able to produce visuals and performance substantially better than even what the PS5 Pro can do.
