Summary
Some fans would like to see a change to theNintendo Switch 2’s square logo on the box art and cartridges, suggesting a horizontal version instead that would span the wide red banner at the top. TheNintendo Switch 2release is around the corner, and although most of the new features coming with the console have been met with enthusiasm, players feel a small tweak to the box art and cartridge design wouldn’t hurt.
Nintendo fans had been waiting a long time forthe official Switch 2 announcement, and the new console was met with a positive reception. Plenty of rumors surrounded the Switch 2’s development journey, with leaks revealing all sorts of details about the console’s look, design, price, and new games. While many of these turned out to be true, Nintendo still managed to surprise fans with the Switch’s successor, even dropping completely unexpected reveals likeThe Duskbloods, a new Soulslike game from FromSoftware exclusive to the Nintendo Switch 2. These kinds of surprises, along with the Switch 2’s overall black and more “mature” design, convinced many players - though now, some are hoping for a small change.
A gamer known as SilverPlate_ took to Reddit to share with the community an idea forthe Nintendo Switch 2 cartridges, saying they believe the current version doesn’t take full advantage of the wide red banner at the top of the cartridges and box art. Instead of a square logo, they suggested Nintendo should stick to the approach used for the original Switch, where the logo was horizontal, covering the entire red banner on the cartridge. Several gamers chimed in to share their thoughts on the matter as well.
Nintendo Fans Want Horizontal Logo on Switch 2 Box Art and Cartridges
One player commented that they feel the new design aims to emphasize the “2” above the Switch brand - which makes sense as a way to set it apart fromoriginal Switch games. Another player agreed with this theory, saying the new design is a good way to establish a clear distinction between the two, helping prevent distracted customers from accidentally buying a game for the wrong console.
Among other significant changes in the new console’s design is howthe Switch 2 Joy-Con work; starting with the way the controllers now snap into place magnetically, instead of sliding along a rail. One of the most exciting innovations may be the Joy-Con’s mouse functionality, which will allow players to detach the Joy-Cons and move them across a surface like a PC mouse. While box art and cartridge design might not please everyone, the Switch 2 is shaping up to be a great release for Nintendo.
