New Nintendo Switch 2 Game Case Size Revealed by Fans

Nintendo Switch 2 enthusiasts have recently shifted their focus from the console itself to a more curious detail: the size of its physical game cases. This buzz was sparked by a leak from French retailer Fnac, where a listing for a Take-Two Interactive Nintendo Switch 2 game revealed the dimensions of the game boxes. According to the leak, the Nintendo Switch 2 game cases are expected to be slightly larger than those of the original Switch, measuring 5.1 inches by 7.7 inches (13 cm by 19.5 cm).

This size comparison was vividly illustrated in a Reddit post by user HertzBurst, showcasing the new and old game boxes side by side. While these dimensions are not yet officially confirmed by Nintendo, they provide an intriguing glimpse into what fans might expect. The new cases, though larger than the current Switch game cases, will still be smaller than those used for Xbox Series X|S and PlayStation 5 games. It's plausible that retailers would receive such details early to prepare for stock displays and inventory management.

Speculation about the Nintendo Switch 2's release continues to grow, with some industry insiders suggesting a launch window between June and September. This speculation is fueled by upcoming hands-on events scheduled through June and a statement from Greedfall 2 publisher Nacon, hinting at a release before September.

The Nintendo Switch 2 was officially unveiled in January with a brief trailer, confirming features such as backwards compatibility and the addition of a second USB-C port. However, many details remain under wraps, including information about other games and the function of a mysterious new button on the Joy-Con. The so-called "Joy-Con mouse theory" has been one of the more talked-about speculations among fans, adding to the excitement and anticipation surrounding the console's launch.
