Nintendo Switch 2 enthusiasts have shifted their focus from the console itself to the size of its game cases following a potential leak from a retailer. As highlighted by Nintendo Life, journalist Felipe Lima discovered a listing for a Take-Two Interactive Nintendo Switch 2 game on the French retailer Fnac, which included dimensions. If accurate, this suggests that Nintendo Switch 2 game boxes will be slightly larger than those for the original Switch.
A Reddit post by HertzBurst, showcasing a side-by-side comparison of the two box sizes, further illustrates this change. According to the listing, the new dimensions are 5.1 inches by 7.7 inches (13 cm by 19.5 cm). While these boxes will be larger than the current Switch game cases, they remain smaller than those used for Xbox Series X/S and PlayStation 5 games. Although not officially confirmed, it's logical for retailers to receive such information early to prepare their stock displays.

The Nintendo Switch 2 is expected to launch soon, with speculation pointing to a release window between June and September. This timeline aligns with hands-on events scheduled up to June and statements from Greedfall 2 publisher Nacon, who mentioned the console would be available before September.
The console was officially unveiled in January with a brief trailer that confirmed backward compatibility and the addition of a second USB-C port. However, many details, such as the lineup of games and the function of the new mysterious Joy-Con button, remain undisclosed. The theory about the Joy-Con functioning as a mouse has gained some attention, but further information is eagerly awaited by fans.
