Nintendo has confirmed new details about the 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Nintendo Switch 2 screen – name𒐪ly that the screen will be glass like the Nintendo Switch OLED, as opposed to the plastic screen found on the original Swi🌱tch model.

Nintendo of Europe published a (via ) to its webs𝄹ite, and it has all the usual tips and tricks – like, please call a doctor if you manage to get battery fluid in your eyes, and do not let children eat the game cards. But there's a line under the careful usage section that reveals a prꦇeviously unconfirmed detail about the screen.

, seemingly confirming that the Nintendo Switch 2 will also feature a glass screen.

This film screen layer is present so that if the Nintendo Switch 2 gets launched by a raging five-year-old (or more likely, 35-year-old) who just managed to come 24th in 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Mario Kart World, the shattered glass will stick to the adhesive rather than scatter everywhere. So when you get your Switch 2 in later this week, don't peel the film off. A𓄧lso, I still recommend getting a tempered glass screen protector for the console, even with the protective layer in place.

Nintendo also gives warnings in its safety manual like "Make sure to charge the built-in batteries at least once every six months. If the batteries are not used for an extended period of time, it may become impossible to charge them." But, considering the fact that the list of 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:upcoming Switch 2 games is absolut🧜ely packed so far⛄, this likely won't be a problem.

Nintendo "won't know" if the Switch 2 eShop will crash on launch day as everyone rushes to download Mario Kart World, former marketing leads warn, but "they're prepared."
