Nintendo has a warning for upcoming Switch 2 owners: 'Do not peel...'
Nintendo Switch 2 Nintendo has issued a direct warning to would-be Nintendo Switch 2 owners. The Japanese gaming major has asked users not to peel off the adhesive film layer found on the soon-to-be-launched console's screen. This film serves as a crucial safety feature designed to prevent glass fragments from scattering if the screen becomes damaged. The advice comes from the official Nintendo Switch 2 Health and Safety manual, which was recently uploaded to Nintendo of Europe's official website. The manual explicitly states that the screen is covered with this special layer for safety purposes. While users are cautioned against removing this pre-applied film, Nintendo has clarified that it is safe to add any additional commercially available screen protectors directly on top of this existing safety layer. In a message to the upcoming owners (as seen by Nintendo Soup) on Nintendo Europe's website, the company says: 'The screen is covered with a film layer designed to prevent fragments scattering in the event of damage. Do not peel it off.' This means the adhesive film on the Switch 2 screen is designed to prevent the glass from shattering if damaged. Removing it could lead to glass splinters in case of impact, so users should be cautious when unboxing the device.

'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,' the company adds. Some of the warnings are more straightforward, like: 'Do not expose devices to fire, microwaves, direct sunlight, high or extremely low temperatures," which Nintendo also advised for handling the Switch 2.
