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.No mass-market technology product is designed to withstand the kind of abuse that TechRex subjected the Switch 2 in this video. But it's good to know the Switch 2 has a fighting chance to survive a drop from a day-to-day height like a coffee table or dining table. For what it's worth, Nintendo officially recommends that you keep the Switch 2's film screen on, but that likely would not protect it from scratches with a box cutter. For that, you might want to invest in a tempered screen protector, or make changes to your personal life.If you're unlucky enough to need a repair for your Switch 2 (or if GameStop stapled your Switch 2 screen), you can pay Nintendo for an official repair. Also worth mentioning is how the Switch 2 packaging itself does not contain much in the way of protection for the console.The Switch 2 launched today, June 5, with Mario Kart World as its marquee launch title. The game is enjoying a positive critical response, though it does not include one feature many wanted to see.
