Nintendo Switch 2 Rumored Logo Revealed

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 President Shuntaro Furukawa acknowledged its existence in early 2024. A full unveiling is anticipated before March 2025, with a launch expected later this year.

The timing of the console's release has been a subject of much speculation since Furukawa's May 2024 announcement. While Nintendo remains tight-lipped, the prevailing assumption is that the new system will indeed be called the Nintendo Switch 2. Many leaks suggest a design similar to the original Switch, hinting at a direct successor strategy.

According to Comicbook, the leaked logo, shared on Bluesky by Universo Nintendo's Necro Felipe, closely resembles the original Switch logo. The key difference is the addition of a "2" next to the stylized Joy-Con, seemingly confirming the "Nintendo Switch 2" moniker.

Is "Switch 2" the Official Name?

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

Previous leaks appear to corroborate the logo and name shared by Felipe. However, gamers should treat all current rumors as unconfirmed until an official announcement. Recent social media activity suggests a potential earlier-than-expected reveal for the highly anticipated Nintendo Switch 2.
