Summary
- A leaked image online may reveal the Nintendo Switch 2 logo, seemingly confirming the console's name.
- The official unveiling of the Nintendo Switch 2 is anticipated before March 2025.
Rumors and leaks surrounding Nintendo's next console have been swirling since Nintendo President Shuntaro Furukawa confirmed its existence in early 2024. The Switch 2 is expected to be fully revealed before March 2025, with a launch later in the year.
The timing of the new console's release has been a topic of much speculation since Furukawa's May 2024 announcement, with Nintendo remaining relatively quiet. While the official name remains unconfirmed, most leaks point towards "Nintendo Switch 2." Many rumors suggest a similar design to the original Switch, hinting at a direct successor strategy.
Comicbook reports a leaked logo, shared on Bluesky by Universo Nintendo's Necro Felipe. This logo closely resembles the original Switch logo, featuring the stylized Joy-Con controllers above "Nintendo Switch," with the only difference being a "2" added next to the Joy-Con. This strongly suggests "Nintendo Switch 2" will be the official name.
New Nintendo Console Might Actually Be Called Switch 2
Despite the leaked logo, some remain skeptical about 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 negatively impacted sales, suggesting a more straightforward approach for the Switch 2.
Previous leaks appear to support the logo and name shared by Necro Felipe, but gamers should treat all current rumors as unconfirmed until the official unveiling. Another rumor hints at a potentially imminent reveal, based on a recent social media post.
