GameStop Nintendo Switch 2 customers hit with punctured screens after store employees staple receipts to the box (Updated)

Nintendo Switch 2 playing Mario Kart World.

Nintendo's highly anticipated Switch 2 arrives today, but for some, the launch is bittersweet. Some units from GameStop have reportedly been damaged by staples responsible for holding store receipts onto the boxes. 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.

One such customer, Oadhan Lynch, stated on X that Gamestop "stapled the receipt for me and my friends' Switch 2s to the box." Another from Rudeboy on X stated, "Hello! My switch 2 has staple holes in the screen. They stapled the receipt to the box at 1756 Forest Ave, Staten Island, NY 10303 and it damaged the screen."
