GameStop Nintendo Switch 2 customers hit with punctured screens after store employees staple receipts to the box | The Nintendo Switch 2's packaging material is thin enough for a staple to pierce the Switch 2 screen inside.


The Nintendo Switch 2's packaging material is thin enough for a staple to pierce the Switch 2 screen inside.

Several customers have gone to X to report the issue, noting that the staples are puncturing through the Switch 2's thin packaging material and damaging the console's screen. The Nintendo Switch 2 went on sale earlier today at its $449.99 MSRP, but most US-based retailers have allegedly run out of stock. The new console is Nintendo's latest iteration of the Switch, featuring a bigger LCD high refresh rate (120Hz) screen, an all-new custom Nvidia chip with ray tracing and DLSS support, and upgraded Joy-Cons 2 joysticks that can transition to mimic a PC mouse.
