Rumor: Nintendo Switch 2 Logo Leaked

Summary

• A leaked image online may reveal the Nintendo Switch 2 logo, seemingly confirming the console's name.
• The official unveiling of the Nintendo Switch 2 is anticipated before March 2025.

Rumors and leaks surrounding Nintendo's next console have been swirling since Nintendo President Shuntaro Furukawa confirmed its existence in early 2024. A full reveal is expected before March 2025, with a launch later this year.

The timing of the Switch 2's release has been widely speculated since Furukawa's May 2024 announcement, but Nintendo has remained largely silent. While the official name remains unconfirmed, most leaks point towards "Nintendo Switch 2." Many rumors suggest a similar design to the original Switch, hinting at a direct successor.

According to Comicbook, a purported Nintendo Switch 2 logo has surfaced online. Shared on Bluesky by Universo Nintendo's editor-in-chief, Necro Felipe, the logo closely resembles the original Switch logo, featuring a stylized Joy-Con above the words "Nintendo Switch," with the addition of a "2" next to the Joy-Con. This strongly suggests "Nintendo Switch 2" will be the official name.

New Nintendo Console Might Actually Be Called Switch 2

While the logo lacks official verification, some remain skeptical about the "Nintendo Switch 2" name. Nintendo's past consoles have had significantly different names from their predecessors, with the Wii U being a notable exception. The Wii U's unconventional name is often cited as a contributing factor to its lower sales, possibly prompting a more straightforward approach for the Switch 2.

Previous leaks seem to corroborate the logo and name shared by Necro Felipe, but gamers should remain cautious until official confirmation. Another recent social media post hints at a potentially imminent reveal of the highly anticipated Nintendo Switch 2.
