This is what the controversial change in the Nintendo Switch 2 game boxes looks like

With the release of the Nintendo Switch 2 just days away, more details about the console are being revealed every day. We are interested not only in its interior but also in everything that will accompany the new Nintendo hardware. One of these details is the physical games. If you still prefer buying games in this format, you will notice a significant change.

The change that the Nintendo Switch 2 game cases would have would remove an interesting detail

As revealed by Genki_JPN, the cases for Switch 2 titles will feature an eye-catching all-red design. Despite keeping the same size as their original Switch predecessors, the color change is drastic. The classic transparent cases of the original Switch now give way to a vibrant shade of crimson. This chromatic difference will undoubtedly make it easier for consumers to quickly identify games compatible with the new console on store shelves.

However, this comes with a very particular change. As these are now completely solid-color boxes, the artwork that was often hidden once the box was opened will be lost, leaving the inside of the box without any possibility of this. Although this information is based on leaks and is subject to change, if confirmed, it could be a disappointment for those collectors who value these small artistic details.

On the other hand, it’s important to remember that not all games may follow this design style, and some titles may include interior artwork despite the initial leaks. Gamers and collectors will have to wait for the official launch of the console on June 5 to confirm if this trend continues or if there are variations.
