Nintendo Switch 2 Game Case Size Revealed?

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 size difference between the two game boxes. The leaked dimensions are approximately 5.1 inches (13 cm) by 7.7 inches (19.5 cm).

While larger than the standard Switch game cases, the Switch 2 cases would still be considerably 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.

A release window for the Nintendo Switch 2 remains unconfirmed by Nintendo. However, some speculate a launch between June and September, based on upcoming hands-on events and a statement from Nacon, the publisher of Greedfall 2, suggesting 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, including the functionality of a new Joy-Con button, remain undisclosed, though theories abound.
