Rumor: Nintendo Switch 2 Logo 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 widely speculated since Furukawa's May 2024 announcement, yet Nintendo has remained largely silent. While the name "Nintendo Switch 2" isn't officially confirmed, most leaks suggest this will be the case. Many believe the Switch 2 will retain a similar design to its predecessor, making a direct sequel name logical.

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

Is "Switch 2" the Real Name?

The logo's authenticity remains unverified, and some question whether "Nintendo Switch 2" is the final name. Nintendo's past consoles have had significantly different names (e.g., Wii U vs. Wii), leading some to believe they might choose a more unique moniker. The less-than-successful Wii U's unconventional name is often cited as a possible reason for its lower sales, suggesting Nintendo might opt for a simpler approach this time.

Previous leaks support Felipe's logo and name claim, but gamers should remain cautious until official confirmation. Another recent social media post hints at a potentially imminent reveal.
