Nintendo Switch 2 Logo Possibly Leaked, Confirming Console Name?

A purported logo for the Nintendo Switch 2 has surfaced online, potentially confirming the console's official name. Rumors and leaks surrounding Nintendo's next-generation console have been circulating since Nintendo President Shuntaro Furukawa acknowledged its existence earlier in 2024. The Switch 2 is widely anticipated to be fully unveiled 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 and rumors point towards it. Many also suggest a design similar to the current Switch, hinting at a direct successor.

According to Comicbook, a logo has appeared online. Shared on Bluesky by Universo Nintendo's editor-in-chief, Necro Felipe, this logo closely resembles the original Switch logo, featuring the stylized Joy-Con controllers above "Nintendo Switch." The key difference is the addition of a "2" next to the Joy-Con, seemingly solidifying the "Nintendo Switch 2" moniker.

Is "Switch 2" the Official Name?

The logo's authenticity remains unverified, and some doubt the "Nintendo Switch 2" name. Nintendo's history includes consoles with names significantly different from their predecessors (e.g., the Wii U). Some believe the Wii U's unconventional name negatively impacted sales, suggesting a more straightforward approach for the Switch 2.

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