GameStop has issued a light-hearted response to gamers after reports that a store in New York had accidentally damaged a batch of Nintendo Switch 2 screens with staplers. The story quickly went viral after some new disgruntled Nintendo Switch 2 owners showcased their damaged screens online, but a statement from GameStop now claims that the issue has been addressed, refunds offered, and staplers confiscated.
After eight years of waiting, Nintendo fans finally got their hands on a brand-new console this week. Unfortunately, some gamers are now having to go through the hassle of getting replacement consoles as a GameStop in New York has accidentally damaged a batch of Nintendo Switch 2 screens. The unique mishap occurred when some employees began stapling customer receipts to the front of the Switch 2's box. However, Nintendo's somewhat bizarre placement of the console meant the only thing protecting the screen was the thin cardboard box itself. This meant that as soon as the employees stapled the receipt to the outside, it pierced straight through and left two puncture marks on the screen.
