Rumor: Nintendo Switch 2 Logo Leaked

A leaked image potentially reveals the Nintendo Switch 2 logo, seemingly confirming the console's name. Speculation surrounding Nintendo's next console has been rampant since President Shuntaro Furukawa acknowledged its existence in early 2024. 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 topic of much 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 point towards it. Many rumors suggest a design similar to the original Switch, making a direct sequel naming convention logical.

According to Comicbook, a logo—shared on Bluesky by Universo Nintendo's Necro Felipe—has surfaced. It closely resembles the original Switch logo, featuring the stylized Joy-Con controllers above "Nintendo Switch," with the only notable difference being a "2" next to the Joy-Cons. This strongly suggests "Nintendo Switch 2" as the official name.

Is it Really the Switch 2?

The logo lacks official verification, and some remain skeptical about the "Nintendo Switch 2" moniker. 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 its sales, prompting a more straightforward approach for the Switch's successor.

Previous leaks appear to corroborate Felipe's logo and name, but gamers should avoid treating these rumors as definitive until official confirmation. Another rumor hints at a potentially imminent reveal, based on a recent social media post.
