Nintendo Switch 2 Game Case Size Revealed?

Nintendo Switch 2 fans are buzzing, but not about the console itself—the excitement now centers on the size of its game cases. A French retailer, Fnac, seemingly leaked the dimensions, sparking a flurry of online discussion. As reported by Nintendo Life, journalist Felipe Lima noticed a Take-Two Interactive game listing on Fnac revealing the dimensions. If accurate, Nintendo Switch 2 game boxes will be slightly larger than those of the original Switch.

A Reddit post by HertzBurst visually compares the two box sizes. The leaked dimensions are approximately 5.1 inches (13 cm) by 7.7 inches (19.5 cm). While larger than the current Switch cases, they remain significantly smaller than those used for Xbox Series X|S and PlayStation 5 games.

Although not officially confirmed, it's plausible that retailers received these dimensions early to prepare for stocking and display. Furthermore, the Nintendo Switch 2 release seems imminent. While Nintendo hasn't announced a release window, speculation points towards a June to September launch. This is based on hands-on events scheduled until June and Nacon's statement that the console will launch before September.

The Nintendo Switch 2 was unveiled in January with a short trailer highlighting backwards compatibility and a second USB-C port. However, many details remain undisclosed, including its game lineup and the function of a mysterious new button on the Joy-Cons (though the "Joy-Con mouse" theory has gained some traction).
