Watch This Guy Smash His Brand-New Switch 2 With A Hammer
The Switch 2 is out today, and immediately someone has smashed it with a hammer. In the video below from YouTube account TechRex, we see the host perform an extreme durability test on the console, culminating in a test that the Switch 2 was never going to survive.
The test begins with a simple drop test, where the Switch 2 is dropped from a tabletop height. As you can see in the video, the Switch 2 survives multiple five-foot drops with no issues, at least in this specific test environment. The video also has the host slashing the Switch 2’s screen with a box cutter trying to snap off the Joy-Cons improperly, and attempting to apply force to break the kickstand.
Finally, the host drops a hammer on the screen and then smashes it with a lot more force. It’s painful to type these words and even more painful to watch the video, but alas, here it is for your own enjoyment or punishment.
