Nintendo Switch 2: Unveiled Logo Leaks Online

A leaked logo potentially reveals the Nintendo Switch 2's official name. Rumors and leaks surrounding Nintendo's next console have been circulating since early 2024, when President Shuntaro Furukawa confirmed its existence. While a full unveiling is anticipated before March 2025, with a launch later this year, the exact release date remains unclear.

The name "Nintendo Switch 2" itself is still unconfirmed by Nintendo, although it's the most prevalent speculation. Many believe the console will maintain a similar design to the original Switch, supporting the "Switch 2" moniker as a direct successor.

According to Comicbook, a logo strikingly similar to the original Switch logo has surfaced online. Shared on Bluesky by Necro Felipe of Universo Nintendo, the logo features the iconic stylized Joy-Con controllers above "Nintendo Switch," with the only addition being a "2" next to the Joy-Cons. This strongly suggests "Nintendo Switch 2" will be the official name.

Is "Switch 2" the Right Name?

However, the logo's authenticity remains unverified, and some question whether "Nintendo Switch 2" is the final name. Nintendo's history includes consoles with drastically different names from their predecessors (e.g., Wii U), leading some to believe they might choose a less predictable name. The Wii U's unconventional name is often cited as a factor in its underperformance, suggesting Nintendo might opt for a simpler approach this time.

While past leaks corroborate the leaked logo and name, gamers should remain cautious until official confirmation. Recent social media activity hints that the Switch 2 reveal might be closer than expected.
