The ratings board is at it again, and this time it’s for a Nintendo-published title. But there’s a little bit of confusion as to what it actually means.
Resetera user –R has spotted a rating for Hal Laboratory’s BOXBOY! + BOXGIRL! in Taiwan (via Knoebel on Bluesky). The lovely little puzzler is available on the Switch already, but this listing mentions Switch 2 as the platform.
However, the rating is dated 9th September 2025, which means it’s potentially been sitting in plain sight for a while. And, as some people have pointed out BOXBOY! + BOXGIRL! launched in Taiwan on the same day as the rating.
Some of the more-hopeful fans are praying this is the real deal, mostly because of the extortionately-priced BOXBOY amiibo, which you’ll regularly see for sale online for over $400. A reissue for that would be amazing.
But really, what’s the deal here? Is BoxBoy! + BoxGirl! getting a Nintendo Switch 2 Edition? Or a Switch 2 port? It’s hard to say at this point. But we can look back at another game rating in Taiwan for a bit more of an idea.
A rating for Dragon Quest XI S: Echoes of an Elusive Age – Definitive Edition on Switch 2 was spotted earlier this week, but that one was dated for 29th April 2026. So it is a brand new one, and not one that has been sitting around for a few months.
So, as with all of these little announcements and leaks, our advice remains the same: take it with a pinch of salt.
