A purported Nintendo Switch 2 logo has surfaced online, potentially confirming the console's official name. The upcoming console, rumored for some time, is expected to be fully revealed before March 2025, with a later launch anticipated. Nintendo President Shuntaro Furukawa's confirmation of the console's existence in early 2024 fueled speculation, though the company has remained largely silent since its May 2024 announcement.
While the name "Nintendo Switch 2" remains unconfirmed, most leaks and rumors point towards this moniker. The speculated design similarity to the original Switch further suggests a direct sequel approach.
According to Comicbook, Universo Nintendo's editor-in-chief, Necro Felipe, shared an alleged logo on Bluesky. 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 solidifying the "Nintendo Switch 2" name.
However, verification is pending, and skepticism remains. Nintendo's history of unconventional naming conventions (e.g., the Wii U) raises questions. Some believe the Wii U's name negatively impacted sales, leading to a more straightforward approach with the Switch 2.
While past leaks appear to corroborate Felipe's logo and name, gamers should remain cautious until official confirmation. Recent social media activity hints at a potential earlier-than-expected reveal.
