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 confirmed its existence. A pre-March 2025 unveiling is anticipated, with a launch expected later in the year.
The exact release date remains speculative, despite Furukawa's May 2024 announcement. While the name "Nintendo Switch 2" isn't officially confirmed, most leaks point towards it. Many believe the design will closely resemble the original Switch, further suggesting a direct sequel.
Comicbook reports a logo leak shared on Bluesky by Necro Felipe of Universo Nintendo. This logo closely mirrors the original Switch logo, featuring stylized Joy-Cons above "Nintendo Switch," with the only difference being a "2" added beside the Joy-Cons. This seemingly validates the widely used "Nintendo Switch 2" moniker.
However, verification is pending, and some remain skeptical. Nintendo's history includes consoles with names significantly different from their predecessors (e.g., Wii U). The Wii U's unconventional name is speculated to have negatively impacted sales, potentially prompting a more straightforward approach with the Switch 2.
Previous leaks generally align with Felipe's logo and name, but gamers should remain cautious until official confirmation. Recent social media activity hints at a potentially imminent reveal.
