Nintendo Switch 2 enthusiasts have shifted their focus 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 the French retailer Fnac, which included dimensions. If accurate, these dimensions suggest that Nintendo Switch 2 game boxes will be slightly larger than those of the original Switch.
This speculation was visualized in a Reddit post by HertzBurst, showcasing a side-by-side comparison of the two boxes. According to the retailer's listing, the new boxes measure 5.1 inches by 7.7 inches (13 cm by 19.5 cm). While larger than the current Switch game cases, they remain significantly smaller than the standard cases used for Xbox Series X/S and PlayStation 5 games. Although not officially confirmed, it's plausible that retailers would receive such information early to prepare for stock displays.

The Nintendo Switch 2's release is anticipated to be imminent, with speculation pointing towards a launch window between June and September. This speculation is fueled by hands-on events scheduled until June and a statement from Greedfall 2 publisher Nacon, suggesting the console will be available before September.
Earlier in January, Nintendo unveiled the Switch 2 with a brief trailer that confirmed backwards compatibility and the addition of a second USB-C port. However, many details, including information about other games and the function of the mysterious new Joy-Con button, remain undisclosed. The theory about the Joy-Con functioning as a mouse has gained some attention, but much is still left to the imagination.
