Rumor: Nintendo Switch 2 Logo Leaked

A purported Nintendo Switch 2 logo has surfaced online, potentially confirming the console's official name. Rumors and leaks surrounding Nintendo's next-generation console have been circulating since early 2024, when President Shuntaro Furukawa acknowledged its existence. A pre-March 2025 unveiling is anticipated, with a launch later in the year.

The timing of the new console's release has been a subject of much speculation since Furukawa's May 2024 announcement. While Nintendo has remained tight-lipped, the prevailing belief is that the system will indeed be called the Nintendo Switch 2. Many leaks 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-Cons above "Nintendo Switch," with the only significant difference being the addition of a "2" next to the Joy-Con graphic. This seemingly confirms the widely used placeholder name, "Nintendo Switch 2," as the official title.

Is "Switch 2" the Official Name? A Question Remains

The logo's authenticity remains unverified, and some question whether "Nintendo Switch 2" is the final name. Nintendo's history includes consoles with names significantly different from their predecessors (e.g., the Wii U). The less-than-successful Wii U's unconventional name is speculated to have negatively impacted sales, suggesting a more straightforward approach for the Switch 2.

Previous leaks appear to corroborate the leaked logo and name, but gamers should remain cautious until an official announcement. Another rumor hints at a potentially imminent reveal, based on a recent social media post.
