A leaked logo potentially reveals the Nintendo Switch 2's official name. Rumors and leaks surrounding Nintendo's next console have been circulating since President Shuntaro Furukawa confirmed its existence earlier in 2024. A full unveiling is anticipated before March 2025, with a launch expected later this year.
The timing of the new console's release has been widely speculated since Furukawa's May 2024 announcement, but Nintendo has remained tight-lipped. While the name "Nintendo Switch 2" isn't officially confirmed, most leaks point towards it. Many rumors suggest a similar design to the original Switch, making a direct sequel name logical.
According to Comicbook, a logo has surfaced online. Shared on Bluesky by Necro Felipe of Universo Nintendo, the logo closely resembles the original Switch logo, featuring stylized Joy-Cons above "Nintendo Switch," but with a "2" added next to the Joy-Cons. This seemingly confirms the widely used placeholder name.
Is it Really the Switch 2?
The logo lacks official verification, and some doubt the "Nintendo Switch 2" moniker. Nintendo's history includes consoles with names significantly different from their predecessors (e.g., Wii U). Some believe the Wii U's unconventional name hindered sales, prompting a more straightforward approach for the Switch's successor.
Previous leaks support Felipe's logo and name, but gamers should remain cautious until official confirmation. A recent social media post hints at a potentially imminent reveal.
