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, which included dimensions. These dimensions suggest 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. The listed 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 unconfirmed, it's plausible that retailers would receive case dimensions early to prepare for stocking and display.
A release date for the Nintendo Switch 2 remains unannounced, but speculation points to a launch between June and September. This is partly based on hands-on events scheduled until June and a statement from Nacon, the publisher of Greedfall 2, suggesting a pre-September release.
The Nintendo Switch 2 was initially revealed in January with a short trailer highlighting backward compatibility and the inclusion of a second USB-C port. Many details, including the function of a new Joy-Con button, remain undisclosed, though various theories continue to circulate.
