Nintendo Switch 2: Fans Uncover Potential Game Case Dimensions

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 Nintendo Switch 2 game on Fnac, a French retailer. The listing included dimensions suggesting the Switch 2 game cases will be slightly larger than those of the original Switch.

A Reddit user, HertzBurst, created a visual comparison showcasing the purported size difference. According to the Fnac listing, the dimensions are approximately 5.1 inches (13 cm) by 7.7 inches (19.5 cm).

While larger than the current Switch 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 stock and display arrangements.

A release window for the Nintendo Switch 2 remains unannounced by Nintendo, but speculation points to a launch between June and September. This is based on hands-on events scheduled until June and a statement from Nacon, the publisher of Greedfall 2, indicating 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 function of a new Joy-Con button, remain undisclosed, although theories abound.
