Nintendo Switch 2 enthusiasts are buzzing, but the latest topic of conversation isn't the console itself—it's the size of its game cases. Thanks to a leak from French retailer Fnac, spotted by journalist Felipe Lima, it appears that Nintendo Switch 2 game boxes might be slightly larger than those of the original Switch. According to the listing from Take-Two Interactive, the dimensions of the new game cases are expected to be approximately 5.1 inches by 7.7 inches (13 centimeters by 19.5 centimeters).
A Reddit user, HertzBurst, provided a visual comparison of the two box sizes side by side, fueling further discussion among fans. While these new cases will be bigger than the current Switch game cases, they remain smaller than the standard cases used for Xbox Series X and S, and PlayStation 5 games. Although these dimensions are not yet officially confirmed, it's logical for retailers to receive such information early to prepare their stock displays.
As for the Nintendo Switch 2's release, while Nintendo has not provided a specific window, speculation points to a launch between June and September. This speculation is based on upcoming hands-on events extending to June, and comments from Greedfall 2 publisher Nacon, suggesting the console will be available before September.
The Nintendo Switch 2 was teased earlier in January with a brief trailer that highlighted its backward compatibility and the addition of a second USB-C port. However, many details such as its game lineup and the function of the mysterious new Joy-Con button were not disclosed. The theory about the Joy-Con functioning as a mouse has gained some attention, but more information is eagerly awaited by fans.
