A recent leak reveals that Nintendo had begun development on the Nintendo Switch at least since 2014, and the name "Nintendo Switch" had been decided for the system at that time. Some other information from the leak reveals that Nintendo may have considered 3DS backwards compatibility at some point, and 3DS features such as StreetPass and SpotPass were considered at one point for the system.


Also, as a bit an interesting tidbit, this image was found in Nintendo's internal files regarding amiibo:
