A devoted Nintendo Switch 2 enthusiast has somehow acquired an early copy of “Rune Factory: Guardians of Azuma” for the upcoming console, even though the hardware and game won’t officially launch until June 5. The eagerly awaited console is turning up unexpectedly before its debut, and excitement for the Switch 2 is skyrocketing as we approach its release next week.

In their eagerness to obtain Nintendo’s upcoming hybrid console, the community is uncovering increasingly more details about the system and its launch titles. It seems that the Switch 2 may boast as many as 24 games at release, with heavyweights like “Mario Kart World,” popular third-party ports such as “Cyberpunk 2077: Ultimate Edition,” “Sonic X Shadow Generations,” “Hogwarts Legacy,” and “Yakuza 0 Director’s Cut” included. Surprisingly, a fan appears to have already gotten their hands on a Switch 2 game ahead of its official launch, which is still a week away.

In a recent Reddit post, user MisterEvans78 showcased their brand new copy of Rune Factory: Guardians of Azuma for the Nintendo Switch 2. The revamped role-playing game is set to debut on June 5, coinciding with the console’s release. In the comments, the enthusiast also noted that the package contained a cartridge instead of a download code, and upon inserting Rune Factory into their Nintendo Switch Lite, it ran smoothly without any updates required. Furthermore, MisterEvans78 mentioned that the game box has the same dimensions as a Nintendo Switch 1 game box.

Fan Receives Rune Factory: Guardians of Azuma for the Switch 2 Over a Week Before Launch

Some enthusiasts are expressing worries regarding the upcoming Nintendo Switch 2, particularly its compatibility problems with the initial Switch model. This week, Nintendo released a catalog of about 40 games and six apps that don’t currently work on their new device. However, it is expected that many of these will be rectified either at launch or in the future. What has left many fans most agitated is the absence of support for the popular first-person shooter game Doom Eternal, which is often praised as one of the best FPS games on the original Switch.

A gamer successfully secured a game for the upcoming console, but another enthusiast recently obtained what is believed to be the Nintendo Switch 2 prematurely. Excitedly posting their acquisition online, the individual found that the device was essentially useless at that moment and needed an update on June 5th to operate properly.
