New Nintendo Switch 2 Game Case Size Revealed by Fans

Nintendo Switch 2 enthusiasts have recently turned their attention from the console itself to the size of its physical game cases, following a potential leak from a retailer. As reported by Nintendo Life, journalist Felipe Lima discovered a listing for a Take-Two Interactive Nintendo Switch 2 game on French retailer Fnac, which included specific dimensions. If these measurements are accurate, it suggests that Nintendo Switch 2 game boxes will be slightly larger than those of the original Switch.

This speculation was visually represented in a Reddit post by HertzBurst, showcasing a side-by-side comparison of the two game box sizes. According to the retailer's listing, the dimensions for the Nintendo Switch 2 game cases are 5.1 inches by 7.7 inches (13 centimeters by 19.5 centimeters). While these new cases would be larger than the current Switch game cases, they remain smaller than those used for Xbox Series X|S and PlayStation 5 games. Although this information isn't officially confirmed, it's plausible that retailers receive such details early to prepare for stock displays.

The release of the Nintendo Switch 2 appears to be on the horizon, with rumors suggesting a launch window between June and September. This speculation is fueled by hands-on events scheduled up to June and statements from Nacon, the publisher of Greedfall 2, indicating that the console will be available before September.

Earlier in January, Nintendo unveiled the Switch 2 with a brief trailer that highlighted its backwards compatibility and the inclusion of an additional USB-C port. However, many details remain undisclosed, such as the specifics of its game lineup and the function of the new mysterious button on the Joy-Con. Despite the lack of information, theories like the Joy-Con mouse feature have started to gain some attention among fans.
