Nintendo Switch 2 Logo Allegedly Leaked

A leaked logo potentially reveals the Nintendo Switch 2's official name. Rumors and leaks surrounding Nintendo's next console have been circulating since early 2024, when President Shuntaro Furukawa confirmed its existence. A full unveiling is anticipated before March 2025, with a launch expected later this year.

The timing of the new console's release has been a topic of much speculation since Furukawa's May 2024 announcement, but Nintendo has remained relatively quiet. While the name "Nintendo Switch 2" isn't officially confirmed, most leaks point towards this moniker. Many rumors suggest a design similar to the original Switch, hinting at a direct successor strategy.

According to Comicbook, a logo purportedly belonging to the Nintendo Switch 2 has surfaced online. Shared on Bluesky by Universo Nintendo's Necro Felipe, the logo closely resembles the original Switch logo, featuring stylized Joy-Cons above the "Nintendo Switch" text. The key difference is the addition of "2" next to the Joy-Cons, seemingly confirming the widely used placeholder name.

Is "Switch 2" the Official Name?

The logo's authenticity remains unverified, and some question whether "Nintendo Switch 2" will be the final name. Nintendo's history includes consoles with names drastically different from their predecessors (e.g., Wii U), though the Wii U's unconventional name is speculated to have negatively impacted sales. The straightforward "Switch 2" approach might reflect a change in Nintendo's naming strategy.

Previous leaks support both the name and logo, but gamers should remain cautious until an official announcement. A recent social media post hints at a potentially imminent reveal of the highly anticipated Nintendo Switch 2.
