Switch 2 size compared to original console, based on the leaks

Based on the leaked information about the console, here's how the size of the Switch 2 compares to the original console.

One of the latest Switch 2 leaks suggests that Metaphor: ReFantazio is in the works for Switch 2. Well-known leaker PH Brazil has suggested that while Metaphor: ReFantazio may not be a Switch 2 launch title, the beloved JRPG will potentially be released within the system's “launch window.” If previous Nintendo consoles are any indication, the Switch 2 “launch window” is the time from its release date to the end of the year.

For those unfamiliar with the game, Metaphor: ReFantazio received much praise and was actually one of the highest rated new releases of 2024. Metaphor: ReFantazio was nominated for several awards at The Game Awards 2024, including Game of the Year, winning Best Narrative and Best Art Direction. Given the close collaboration between Nintendo and Parable publisher Sega, it's easy to bring the game to Switch 2.

It's not even the first time we've heard about it Metaphor: ReFantazio potentially coming to the Switch 2. Last year, a separate leak said it's not just Metaphor: ReFantazio coming to Switch 2, though Persona 3 Reload is in the works for the console as well. Again, none of this would be surprising, but it's great to hear that Nintendo is seemingly already getting a lot of third-party support for its next-gen console.

In the meantime, Metaphor: ReFantazio isn't the only game rumored for the Switch 2 launch window. Ubisoft reportedly has over half a dozen games in development for the Switch 2, while companies like Konami and even Microsoft are rumored to be preparing releases for the device as well. Several rumors have said that next Mario Kart will be a launch title, while a new 3D Super Mario the game will be released within the launch window, but fans will have to wait and see if there is any truth to these claims.
