A purported Nintendo Switch 2 logo has surfaced online, potentially confirming the console's official name. Numerous rumors and leaks have circulated regarding Nintendo's next-generation console since President Shuntaro Furukawa confirmed its existence in early 2024. A full unveiling is anticipated before March 2025, with a launch expected later this year.
The timing of the Switch 2's release has been a topic of much speculation since Furukawa's May 2024 announcement, but Nintendo has remained largely silent. While the actual name remains unconfirmed, most leaks point towards "Nintendo Switch 2." Many rumors suggest a design similar to the original Switch, hinting at a direct successor.
Comicbook reports a logo leak shared on Bluesky by Necro Felipe of Universo Nintendo. This logo closely resembles the original Switch logo, featuring stylized Joy-Con controllers above "Nintendo Switch," with the only significant difference being the addition of a "2" next to the Joy-Con. This seemingly confirms the widely used placeholder name, "Nintendo Switch 2," as the official title.
Is it Really the Switch 2?
The logo's authenticity remains unverified, and some question the "Nintendo Switch 2" moniker. Nintendo's history includes consoles with names significantly different from their predecessors (e.g., the Wii U). The less-than-intuitive Wii U name is often cited as a factor in its lower sales, suggesting Nintendo might be opting for a clearer naming convention this time.
Previous leaks appear to support Felipe's logo and name, but gamers should remain cautious until official confirmation. Recent social media activity hints at a potentially imminent reveal of the highly anticipated Nintendo Switch 2.
