A potential leak about the upcoming Nintendo Switch 2 suggests some modifications that have left Nintendo enthusiasts, particularly on Reddit, less than thrilled. Unlike its predecessors – the original Switch, Switch Lite, and OLED Switch – the new model will not be backward compatible with older generations of games. Additionally, it appears to be larger in size compared to current Switch consoles, which is a noticeable change. Although many of the alterations can be attributed to technical upgrades, the lack of backward compatibility and the increase in size are not typical changes. However, what seems to be causing the most controversy among fans is another, less expected modification that Nintendo has reportedly made.
A Reddit user, known for their insights, shared an analysis of the potential size of the Nintendo Switch 2, comparing mock game boxes for the new console with those of the original Nintendo Switch. The comparison was based on leaked dimensions for the Nintendo Switch 2 that were provided by a reliable source, Necro Felipe.
According to the leaked data, if it’s true, the physical game cartridges for Nintendo Switch 2 will reportedly be significantly bigger than those of the original Nintendo Switch. However, the response from fans doesn’t seem overly positive about this change, citing multiple reasons for their disapproval.
As a passionate gamer, I can’t help but express my disappointment over this recent leak. It seems like they’re planning to pack these new cartridges into even bigger plastic casings. With the global issue of plastic waste being a significant concern not only in gaming, but across the world, it feels odd for Nintendo to make such a move. The Switch console is already quite sizeable, given its compact cartridge. It’s a bit ironic, don’t you think?
In the meantime, those who collect physical game versions seem unenthused about the leak. The main issue seems to be presentation, as many were anticipating a consistent box design. This design was expected to seamlessly blend a Nintendo Switch games collection with a potential Nintendo Switch 2 collection on display.

The top comments on the post above express disapproval over any potential change to a smaller box size for the Nintendo Switch. They find it unfortunate if the new design will be larger and less modern, as they perceive it as clunky, outdated, and wasteful of plastic.
As a dedicated gamer, here’s what I’d say: “Uh-oh, not this again! My Nintendo Switch and Switch 2 games have to be perfectly lined up on my shelf for aesthetic harmony!
It’s plausible that Nintendo might choose a bigger case for the Nintendo Switch 2 to clearly differentiate its newer games from the original Nintendo Switch ones. Conversely, using smaller boxes could potentially mislead customers into thinking it’s less powerful or more suitable for kids.
Keep in mind, everything you’re seeing should be treated with caution. At present, what we have is merely a rumor, an image inspired by that rumor, and the numerous theories that picture has sparked. None of it has been verified as authentic yet.
