Rumor: Nintendo Switch 2 Logo Leaked

Nintendo Switch 2 Logo Possibly Leaks, Seemingly Confirming Console Name

An alleged logo for the Nintendo Switch 2 has surfaced online, potentially confirming the console's official name. Speculation and leaks surrounding Nintendo's next-generation console have been rampant since President Shuntaro Furukawa acknowledged its existence earlier in 2024. A full reveal is anticipated before March 2025, with a launch expected later this year.

The timing of the new console's release has been a frequent topic of discussion since Furukawa's May 2024 announcement, but Nintendo has remained largely silent. While the name "Nintendo Switch 2" isn't officially confirmed, most leaks and rumors point towards it. Many also suggest a similar design to the original Switch, making a direct sequel branding unsurprising.

According to Comicbook, a purported Nintendo Switch 2 logo has been leaked 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 the "Nintendo Switch" text. The key difference is the addition of a "2" next to the Joy-Con, strongly suggesting "Nintendo Switch 2" as the official name.

Is "Nintendo Switch 2" the Real Name?

While the logo's authenticity remains unverified, some doubt the "Nintendo Switch 2" moniker. Nintendo's history includes consoles with names significantly different from their predecessors, the Wii U being a notable (and less successful) example. Some believe the Wii U's unconventional name hampered its sales, potentially prompting a more straightforward approach for the Switch's successor.

Previous leaks appear to corroborate Necro Felipe's logo and name, but gamers should remain cautious. Until an official unveiling, all current rumors should be treated with skepticism. A recent social media post hints that the highly anticipated reveal might occur sooner than expected.
