The Nintendo Switch 2 had a slightly more dramatic launch than your typical console owing to the fact that one GameStop location in New York (Staten Island) decided to literally staple the screens of several consoles, giving birth to what we now know as "Staplegate." But the entire messy saga has now concluded in a $250,000 auction for charity.
Quick catch-up: On launch day, some GameStop workers stapled a pre-order receipt onto several Nintendo Switch 2 boxes, obviously not anticipating that the handheld hybrid's screen would be directly on the other side. This meant a bunch of Switch 2s were literally punctured by what looked like vampire teeth, though GameStop did refund any damaged goods, of course.
