Nintendo Switch 2 Fans Think They've Figured Out the New Physical Game Case Size

Speculation about the Nintendo Switch 2 has shifted from the console itself to the size of its game cases, following a potential leak from a French retailer.

Nintendo Life reported that journalist Felipe Lima discovered a listing for a Take-Two Interactive game on Fnac, a French retailer, revealing the purported dimensions of the Switch 2 game case. These dimensions suggest a slightly larger case than the current Nintendo Switch.

A Reddit user, HertzBurst, created a visual comparison showcasing the difference between the two box sizes. The leaked dimensions are approximately 5.1 inches (13 cm) by 7.7 inches (19.5 cm).

While significantly larger than the current Switch cases, the Switch 2 cases would still be smaller than those used for Xbox Series X|S and PlayStation 5 games. Although unconfirmed, it's plausible that retailers would receive these dimensions early to prepare for stocking and display.

The Nintendo Switch 2's release is anticipated soon. While Nintendo hasn't provided a release window, speculation points to a launch between June and September. This aligns with reported hands-on events ending in June and Nacon, publisher of Greedfall 2, stating a pre-September release.

The Nintendo Switch 2 was initially unveiled in January with a short trailer highlighting backward compatibility and a second USB-C port. Many details remain undisclosed, including the functionality of a new Joy-Con button, a detail that has fueled various online theories.
