Nintendo Switch 2 Logo Emerges Online

A potential leak reveals the Nintendo Switch 2 logo, seemingly confirming the console's name. Rumors and leaks surrounding Nintendo's next-generation console have been circulating since President Shuntaro Furukawa confirmed its existence in early 2024. An anticipated unveiling before March 2025 is expected, with a launch later this year.

The timing of the release has been widely speculated since Furukawa's May 2024 announcement, but Nintendo has remained largely silent. While the official name remains unconfirmed, most leaks point towards "Nintendo Switch 2." Many believe the design will closely resemble the original Switch, suggesting a direct successor.

Comicbook reports a logo leak shared on Bluesky by Necro Felipe of Universo Nintendo. The logo is strikingly similar to the original Switch logo, featuring the stylized Joy-Con controllers above "Nintendo Switch," with the only notable difference being a "2" added next to the Joy-Con. This strongly suggests "Nintendo Switch 2" as the official name.

Is it Really the Switch 2?

Despite the compelling evidence, verification is still pending, and some remain skeptical. Nintendo's history of naming consoles (e.g., the Wii U) shows a departure from direct sequels. The Wii U's unconventional name is often cited as a contributing factor to its lower sales, potentially explaining a more straightforward approach with the Switch 2.

Previous leaks corroborate the leaked logo and name, but gamers should exercise caution and avoid treating rumors as fact until official confirmation. Recent social media activity hints at a potentially imminent reveal.
