Nintendo Switch 2 Has a Codename for Its Codename; “Successor” Was the Most Appropriate Expression to Announce New Hardware
Nintendo seems extremely serious about the security of the Nintendo Switch 2, going so far as to create a codename for the system's actual codename.
SciresM, a well-known hacker in the current Switch scene who developed the system's custom firmware Atmosphere, among other things, provided a clarification for the Muji codename that's been making the rounds on the web in the past few hours. The codename, which means plain in Japanese, is a placeholder used specifically to avoid leaking the new codename. As knowing the console's codename would be pretty pointless information, creating a codename for a codename is something that only a company like Nintendo would do.

Much like reading too much into the Nintendo Switch 2 codename, doing the same with the "successor" expression used by Nintendo's president Shuntaro Furukawa to describe the Nintendo Switch 2 is pointless. In the Q&A session held after the release of the company's latest financial results, Furukuwa-san confirmed how, at this stage, the "successor" expression was the most appropriate one for the announcement, although rumors do seem to suggest the new system will indeed be an evolution of its predecessor.
The Nintendo Switch 2 has yet to be officially revealed. We will keep you updated on the system as soon as more come in on it, so stay tuned for all the latest news.
