The lovely little puzzler is available on the Switch already, but this listing mentions Switch 2 as the platform.<\/p>\n<p>However, the rating is dated 9th September 2025, which means it&#8217;s potentially been sitting in plain sight for a while. And, as some people have pointed out BOXBOY! + BOXGIRL! <a class=\"external\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nintendo.com\/tw\/search?k=boxboy\">launched in Taiwan on the same day<\/a> as the rating.<\/p>\n<p>Some of the more-hopeful fans are praying this is the real deal, mostly because of the extortionately-priced BOXBOY amiibo, which you&#8217;ll regularly see for sale online for over $400. A reissue for that would be amazing.<\/p>\n<aside class=\"object object-bsky-post\"><!-- cache: oembed\/https:\/\/bsky.app\/profile\/knoebel.bsky.social\/post\/3mkrxcj4lmc2m @ 2026-05-01T14:30:03+01:00 --><\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"bluesky-embed\" data-bluesky-uri=\"at:\/\/did:plc:uxvdusz3e6eqapsbaf7eue5u\/app.bsky.feed.post\/3mkrxcj4lmc2m\" data-bluesky-cid=\"bafyreigb2vqbrd2tdiesujimhzs7eay4tsnrxkf73klmv25jnlmguxtnzq\">\n<p lang=\"en\">&#8216;Boxboy! + Boxgirl!&#8217; has been rated for Nintendo Switch 2 in Taiwan. www.resetera.com\/threads\/boxb&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>\u2014 <a href=\"https:\/\/bsky.app\/profile\/did:plc:uxvdusz3e6eqapsbaf7eue5u?ref_src=embed\">Knoebel (@knoebel.bsky.social)<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/bsky.app\/profile\/did:plc:uxvdusz3e6eqapsbaf7eue5u\/post\/3mkrxcj4lmc2m?ref_src=embed\">2026-05-01T10:48:07.228Z<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<\/aside>\n<p>But really, what&#8217;s the deal here? Is BoxBoy! + BoxGirl! getting a Nintendo Switch 2 Edition? Or a Switch 2 port? It&#8217;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.<\/p>\n<p>A rating for <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nintendolife.com\/games\/nintendo-switch\/dragon_quest_xi_s_echoes_of_an_elusive_age_-_definitive_edition\">Dragon Quest XI S: Echoes of an Elusive Age &#8211; Definitive Edition<\/a> on Switch 2 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nintendolife.com\/news\/2026\/04\/dragon-quest-xi-s-echoes-of-an-elusive-age-definitive-edition-has-been-rated-for-switch-2\">was spotted earlier this week<\/a>, 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.<\/p>\n<p>So, as with all of these little announcements and leaks, our advice remains the same: take it with a pinch of salt.<\/p>\n<p><!-- cache: html:nintendolife.com\/ssl\/nintendo-switch-2\/related-articles:146774,87627 @ 1777705884 --><\/p>\n<aside class=\"block object-related\"> <\/aside>\n<p><em>Would you like to see a new BOXBOY game?
