Nintendo Switch 2: Alleged Logo Surfaces Online

A leaked logo seemingly confirms the "Nintendo Switch 2" name for Nintendo's upcoming console. Rumors and leaks surrounding the console have been circulating since early 2024, when Nintendo President Shuntaro Furukawa confirmed its existence. A full unveiling is anticipated before March 2025, with a launch expected later this year.

The exact release date remains speculative, despite Furukawa's May 2024 announcement. While the official name hasn't been confirmed, most leaks point towards "Nintendo Switch 2." Many believe the console will retain a similar design to the original Switch, hence the straightforward naming convention.

Comicbook reports a logo leak, shared on Bluesky by Necro Felipe of Universo Nintendo. The logo closely resembles the original Switch logo, featuring stylized Joy-Cons 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.

However, confirmation is still pending, and some remain skeptical. Nintendo's history includes consoles with names drastically different from their predecessors (e.g., Wii U), leading some to believe a more creative name might be chosen. The Wii U's unconventional name is often cited as a contributing factor to its lower sales, possibly influencing Nintendo to adopt a simpler approach this time.

While previous leaks align with Felipe's reported logo and name, gamers should remain cautious until an official announcement. Recent social media activity hints at a potentially imminent reveal.
