A leaked image potentially reveals the Nintendo Switch 2 logo, seemingly confirming the console's name. The upcoming console, whose existence was confirmed by Nintendo President Shuntaro Furukawa in early 2024, is anticipated to be fully unveiled before March 2025, with a launch later this year.
While the exact release date remains shrouded in secrecy following Furukawa's May 2024 announcement, speculation is rife. Although the official name is unconfirmed, most leaks point towards "Nintendo Switch 2." The design is also rumored to closely resemble the original Switch, suggesting a direct successor.
According to Comicbook, a logo surfaced online, shared by Necro Felipe on Bluesky. This logo closely mirrors the original Switch logo, featuring the stylized Joy-Con controllers above "Nintendo Switch," with the key difference being a "2" added next to the Joy-Con. This detail strongly hints at the "Nintendo Switch 2" moniker becoming official.
Is it Really the Switch 2?
Despite the compelling evidence, confirmation is still pending. Nintendo has a history of unconventional naming conventions (e.g., the Wii U), and some believe this naming strategy hindered the Wii U's sales. The straightforward "Nintendo Switch 2" approach might therefore be a strategic shift.
While previous leaks appear to support this logo and name, gamers should treat all current rumors with caution until official confirmation. Recent social media activity even suggests an imminent reveal may be on the horizon.
