Rumor: Nintendo Switch 2 Logo Leaked

A potential leak of the Nintendo Switch 2 logo has surfaced online, seemingly confirming the console's official name. Numerous rumors and leaks have surrounded Nintendo's next-generation console since President Shuntaro Furukawa acknowledged its existence in early 2024. A full unveiling is anticipated before March 2025, with a launch expected later this year.

The timing of the Switch 2's release has been a topic of much speculation since Furukawa's May 2024 announcement, yet Nintendo has remained largely silent. While the actual name remains unconfirmed, most leaks and rumors point towards "Nintendo Switch 2." Given the anticipated similar design to the original Switch, a direct sequel branding seems plausible.

Comicbook.com reports a logo leak shared on Bluesky by Necro Felipe, editor-in-chief of Universo Nintendo. The 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 "2" next to the Joy-Con, strongly suggesting the "Nintendo Switch 2" moniker.

Is it Really the Switch 2?

Despite the leak, some remain skeptical about the "Nintendo Switch 2" name. Nintendo's history includes consoles with significantly different names from their predecessors (e.g., Wii U), leading some to believe a more unconventional name might be chosen. The Wii U's naming convention is often cited as a factor in its underperformance, suggesting Nintendo might opt for a clearer, more direct approach this time.

Previous leaks appear to corroborate Felipe's logo and name, but gamers should remain cautious until official confirmation. Further rumors hint at a potentially imminent reveal, adding to the growing anticipation.
