A Taiwanese ratings board entry listing BoxBoy! + BoxGirl! for Nintendo Switch 2 appeared online this morning, drawing attention from fans and forum users.
The listing was discovered and shared by participants on ResetEra, who captured a screenshot of the rating entry.
The board's entry included a release date field showing "2025/09/09." Nintendo has not issued any official announcement confirming a Switch 2 version.
Background and developer context
BoxBoy! + BoxGirl! is part of the BoxBoy series developed by HAL Laboratory and published by Nintendo.
HAL Laboratory is a long-established Japanese developer known for work on franchises such as Kirby and longstanding collaborations with Nintendo.
The BoxBoy franchise has appeared on Nintendo platforms and eShop storefronts in the past; BoxBoy titles are puzzle-platformers that follow the series' signature level design and minimalist presentation.
What the ratings entry shows
The Taiwanese ratings board entry explicitly lists BoxBoy! + BoxGirl! for the Nintendo Switch 2 platform and includes the date string "2025/09/09" in its details.
Users documented the listing with screenshots while the entry was visible.
There has been no confirmation from Nintendo or HAL Laboratory that this listing reflects an official product announcement or release schedule.
Industry context and rewritten statements
Observers have noted that Nintendo's approach to public releases has evolved, with the company varying how and when it uses Nintendo Direct presentations versus other channels.
In journalistic terms: industry watchers say Nintendo no longer relies solely on Nintendo Direct broadcasts for every studio or platform announcement.
The presence of a ratings-board entry does not equal an official reveal; ratings classifications can appear ahead of, or entirely independent from, publisher announcements, and entries can occasionally contain administrative errors.
Amiibo and availability notes
The BoxBoy series previously had amiibo-related merchandise tied to its release history.
Some limited-production items tied to Nintendo releases have become scarce in secondary markets over time.
Nintendo has not announced any new amiibo related to BoxBoy at this time.
What to watch next
For verified developments, await statements from Nintendo or HAL Laboratory or an official listing on Nintendo's channels, such as a Nintendo Direct or an eShop posting.
Until then, the Taiwanese rating entry should be treated as a documented public filing rather than an official product confirmation.
