Description:
The Nintendo Switch 2 logo may have leaked, and I think it's pretty bland.
FULL STORY ======================================================================An accurate recreation of the Nintendo Switch 2 logo may have surfaced It indicates that the logo will be the same as that as the Nintendo Switch, albeit with a large 2 added It follows an abundance of other recent Nintendo Switch 2 leaks
Its clear that Nintendo has lost control of the narrative surrounding the Nintendo Switch 2, with other companies showing off detailed mockups
allegedly based on the unreleased console at CES 2025 and an apparent photo
of its controller hitting social media just a few days ago. Now we might even know what the consoles logo looks like, all before it's been officially unveiled.
According to Felipe Lima, the co-creator of Brazilian Nintendo fan site Universo Nintendo, the Nintendo Switch 2 logo will look an awful lot like the emblem for the original Nintendo Switch. It will feature a prominent '2', however, clearly differentiating it from its predecessor.
In a recent X / Twitter post which we have machine translated, Lima claims that the information comes from a reliable source that was able to send them an image of the console itself. They even offer their own recreation of the logo, presumably in an effort to avoid a copyright takedown notice, which
they state is exactly like the real thing.
Previous leaks have also hinted that the new console will feature very
similar branding to the Nintendo Switch, which lends Limas claims some credibility. With alleged photos of the controllers out in the wild, it also doesn't seem implausible that they might have been able get their hands on an image showing the whole thing.
I do have to say, however, that if this leak is accurate its hardly the most exciting news. I have always loved the imaginative branding of Nintendo consoles, whether thats the brilliant Nintendo DS or older favorites like the Nintendo GameCube. Labeling a product the 'Nintendo Switch 2' seems pretty tame and much more in line with the naming conventions of competitors like Sony and its PlayStation lineup.
Even so, it could provide an interesting insight into how Nintendo views the upcoming system. This is definitely shaping up to be much more of an
iterative release than what weve seen in the past, but Im still optimistic that some cool new feature ( potentially the ability to use the Joy-Con controllers like a mouse ) will help set it apart.
