Rumor: Nintendo Switch 2 Logo Leaked

A purported Nintendo Switch 2 logo has surfaced online, potentially confirming the console's official name. Speculation surrounding Nintendo's next-generation console has been rampant since President Shuntaro Furukawa acknowledged its existence earlier in 2024. A full reveal is anticipated before March 2025, with a launch expected later this year.

The timing of the Switch 2's release has been a frequent topic of discussion since Furukawa's May 2024 announcement, yet Nintendo has remained relatively silent. While the name "Nintendo Switch 2" isn't definitively confirmed, most leaks and rumors point towards it. Many also suggest a design similar to the original Switch, hinting at a direct successor strategy.

According to Comicbook, a purported logo has emerged on Bluesky, shared by Universo Nintendo's editor-in-chief, Necro Felipe. This logo closely resembles the original Switch logo, featuring the stylized Joy-Con controllers above "Nintendo Switch," with the only notable addition being a "2" next to the Joy-Cons. This seemingly confirms the widely used placeholder name, "Nintendo Switch 2," as the official title.

Is it Really the Switch 2?

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

Previous leaks appear to corroborate the logo and name shared by Necro Felipe, but gamers should treat all current rumors with caution until an official announcement. Another rumor suggests a potentially imminent reveal, based on a recent social media post.
