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. While a pre-March 2025 reveal is anticipated, with a later launch this year, Nintendo has remained officially silent on specifics.
The name "Nintendo Switch 2" itself has been largely assumed, though not officially confirmed. Many believe the design will closely resemble the original Switch, hence the straightforward naming convention.
According to Comicbook, Universo Nintendo's Necro Felipe shared a logo on Bluesky. This logo is virtually identical to the original Switch logo, featuring stylized Joy-Cons above "Nintendo Switch," with the only difference being a "2" added next to the Joy-Cons. This strongly suggests "Nintendo Switch 2" is the official name.
However, verification is still pending, and some remain skeptical. Nintendo's history includes consoles with names significantly different from their predecessors (e.g., Wii U), though the Wii U's unconventional name is speculated to have negatively impacted its sales. This might explain a more direct approach with the Switch 2.
Previous leaks seem to corroborate this logo and name, but fans should remain cautious until official confirmation. Recent social media activity hints at a potentially earlier-than-expected reveal.
