A leaked image potentially reveals the Nintendo Switch 2 logo, seemingly confirming the console's name. Numerous rumors and leaks have surrounded Nintendo's next-generation console since its existence was acknowledged by President Shuntaro Furukawa in early 2024. A pre-March 2025 unveiling is anticipated, with a launch expected later in the 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 this moniker. The rumored design similarity to the original Switch further supports this naming convention, suggesting a direct successor to the hugely popular original.

According to Comicbook, a logo has surfaced online. Shared on Bluesky by Universo Nintendo's Necro Felipe, the logo closely resembles the original Switch logo, featuring stylized Joy-Con controllers above the "Nintendo Switch" text. The key difference is the addition of a "2" next to the Joy-Cons, seemingly solidifying "Nintendo Switch 2" as the official name.

Is it Really the Switch 2?

The logo's authenticity remains unverified, and some question the "Nintendo Switch 2" name. Nintendo's history includes consoles with names significantly different from their predecessors (e.g., the Wii U). Some believe the Wii U's unconventional name hindered its sales, potentially prompting a more straightforward approach for the Switch's successor.

Previous leaks appear to corroborate Felipe's logo and name, but gamers should treat all current rumors with caution until official confirmation. A recent social media post hints at a potentially imminent reveal of the highly anticipated Nintendo Switch 2.
