Nintendo’s next-generation console, widely referred to as the “Nintendo Switch 2,” has been the center of rumors and leaks for months. While the company has remained tight-lipped, a series of leaks continue to paint an increasingly detailed picture of what fans can expect. The latest buzz? A leaked logo for the highly-anticipated console, which has sparked significant conversation online.
Leaked Logo Hints at Iterative Design for Nintendo Switch 2
According to Universo Nintendo’s editor-in-chief Felipe Lima, the alleged Nintendo Switch 2 logo bears a striking resemblance to the original Nintendo Switch branding. Shared via a recreated image on social media, the logo features the iconic stylized Joy-Con design but includes a bold “2” beside it. This design decision seemingly aligns with the console being marketed as an iterative upgrade rather than a complete departure from its predecessor.
Lima claims his recreation is based on a real-life image of the Switch 2 console, which was shared by a reliable source. To avoid potential copyright strikes, Lima opted to recreate the design rather than share the original image. While the logo has not been officially verified, its similarity to prior leaks about Nintendo’s branding strategy lends some credibility to his claims.
This isn’t the first time information about the Nintendo Switch 2 has surfaced. Just days ago, detailed mockups of the console, reportedly created by accessory maker Genki, were showcased at CES 2025. These models hint at a larger OLED display and new magnetic Joy-Con controllers. Meanwhile, leaked photos of the console’s controller have circulated widely on social media, further fueling the excitement.
Nintendo’s apparent decision to carry over much of the original Switch branding signals a more cautious strategy for its next-generation console. At the same time, it may reflect Nintendo’s desire to preserve the Switch’s identity, building on its tremendous success since its 2017 debut.
Despite the leaks, Nintendo has yet to officially confirm the name, logo, or design of the console. With its fiscal year ending on March 31, 2025, and rumors of a release in April 2025, fans are bracing for an official reveal soon. Until then, the gaming community will be watching Nintendo’s social channels closely for confirmation and to see if the leaks live up to the hype.
Stay tuned as more details emerge about what could be Nintendo’s biggest launch in years.
