Alleged Nintendo Switch 2 Logo Surfaces Online

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. While a full unveiling is anticipated before March 2025, with a launch later this year, the official name and release date remain unconfirmed.

The timing of the new console's release has been a subject of much speculation since Furukawa's May 2024 announcement. Although Nintendo has remained tight-lipped, the prevailing assumption is that the console will indeed be called the Nintendo Switch 2. Many leaks suggest a design similar to the original Switch, hinting at a direct successor strategy.

Comicbook.com reports a logo leak shared on Bluesky by Necro Felipe of Universo Nintendo. This logo closely resembles the original Switch logo, featuring the stylized Joy-Con controllers above the "Nintendo Switch" text. The key difference is the addition of a "2" next to the Joy-Con, seemingly confirming the widely used "Nintendo Switch 2" moniker.

However, verification is pending, and skepticism remains regarding the official name. Nintendo's history includes consoles with names significantly different from their predecessors (e.g., Wii U vs. Wii), raising the possibility of a less predictable naming convention. Some believe the Wii U's unconventional name negatively impacted sales, prompting a more straightforward approach for the Switch 2.

While previous leaks align with Felipe's shared logo and name, gamers should remain cautious until official confirmation. Recent social media activity suggests a potential earlier-than-expected reveal.
