Rumor: Nintendo Switch 2 Logo Leaked

A purported Nintendo Switch 2 logo leak potentially confirms 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. While a full reveal is anticipated before March 2025, with a launch later this year, the official name and release date remain unconfirmed.

Speculation regarding the console's name has been rampant since Furukawa's May 2024 announcement. Although the name "Nintendo Switch 2" is widely assumed, Nintendo has maintained silence. The similarity of the leaked logo to the original Switch logo, with the addition of a "2" next to the Joy-Con, lends credence to this popular moniker. This alleged logo, shared on Bluesky by Necro Felipe of Universo Nintendo, reinforces the "Nintendo Switch 2" branding.

However, skepticism remains. Nintendo's history of unconventional naming conventions (e.g., Wii U) suggests the possibility of a different name. The perceived negative impact of the Wii U's name on sales might have prompted a more straightforward approach this time.

While past leaks appear to support the leaked logo and name, gamers should remain cautious. Confirmation awaits the official unveiling. Recent social media activity hints at a potentially earlier-than-expected reveal. Until then, all information should be considered speculative.
