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 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.com reports a logo leak shared on Bluesky by Universo Nintendo's Necro Felipe. The logo is strikingly similar to the original Switch logo, featuring stylized Joy-Cons above the "Nintendo Switch" text. The only difference is a "2" beside the Joy-Cons, seemingly confirming the "Nintendo Switch 2" moniker.
However, verification is pending, and some doubt the name. Nintendo's history includes consoles with vastly different names from their predecessors (e.g., Wii U vs. Wii). 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 corroborate the leaked logo and name, but gamers should remain cautious until official confirmation. Recent social media activity hints at a potentially imminent reveal.
