Nintendo's Upcoming Switch 2 Console 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 expected later this year.

The timing of the console's reveal has been widely speculated since Furukawa's May 2024 announcement, but Nintendo has remained relatively quiet. 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, hinting at a direct successor strategy.

Comicbook reports a logo leak shared on Bluesky by Universo Nintendo's Necro Felipe. This logo closely resembles the original Switch logo, featuring stylized Joy-Cons above "Nintendo Switch," with the only significant difference being a "2" added next to the Joy-Cons. This seemingly validates the widely used "Nintendo Switch 2" moniker.

The "Switch 2" Name: A Calculated Risk?

The logo's authenticity remains unverified, and some doubt the "Nintendo Switch 2" name. Nintendo's history includes consoles with names significantly different from their predecessors (e.g., the Wii U). The Wii U's unconventional name is believed by some to have negatively impacted its sales, potentially prompting a more straightforward approach with the Switch 2.

Previous leaks appear to corroborate the leaked logo and name, but gamers should remain cautious until official confirmation. Recent social media activity suggests a potential earlier-than-expected reveal.
