A purported Nintendo Switch 2 logo leak may have revealed the console's official name. Rumors and leaks surrounding Nintendo's next console have been circulating since President Shuntaro Furukawa confirmed its existence in early 2024. A pre-March 2025 unveiling is anticipated, with a later launch this year.

The timing of the new console's release has been widely speculated since Furukawa's May 2024 announcement, yet Nintendo has remained largely silent. While the name "Nintendo Switch 2" isn't officially confirmed, most leaks point towards it. Many predict a similar design to the original Switch, suggesting a direct successor branding strategy.

According to Comicbook, a logo surfaced online, shared by Necro Felipe of Universo Nintendo on Bluesky. This logo closely resembles the original Switch logo, featuring stylized Joy-Cons 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?

Verification of the logo is pending, and some remain skeptical about the "Nintendo Switch 2" name. Nintendo's history includes consoles with names vastly different from their predecessors (e.g., Wii U). The Wii U's unconventional naming is believed by some to have negatively impacted its sales, potentially prompting a more straightforward approach for the Switch's successor.

Previous leaks appear to corroborate the logo and name shared by Necro Felipe, but gamers should exercise caution and avoid treating these rumors as definitive until official confirmation. Another rumor hints at a potentially imminent reveal, based on recent social media activity.
