YouTuber allegedly banned from Nintendo Store after smashing their Switch 2

As a devoted fan, I unintentionally found myself at the center of an unusual situation when I, in a moment of frustration, decided to break my brand-new Nintendo Switch 2 with a hammer right outside its store. However, it appears that this impulsive act may have led to me being temporarily banned from the premises.

Enthusiasm for the launch of the Nintendo Switch 2 is palpable among fans, particularly those eager to experience Mario Kart World. Given that it’s said to have outperformed the original Switch’s first-month sales in a single day, it’s no wonder there’s such anticipation!

Although some people are eagerly purchasing the Switch 2, others may not be as fortunate or able to afford one.

It wasn’t long before the well-known YouTuber, who smashed a console in view of people queuing outside an official Nintendo store, had to deal with the repercussions of his actions.

YouTuber gets banned after breaking Switch 2 on purpose in front of store

In his “Bored Actions – Nintendo Switch 2” video, everything kicked off when he intentionally dropped his Switch 2 onto the pavement outside a Nintendo store in San Francisco on the night of the console’s launch.

Subsequently, he persisted in breaking the Nintendo Switch 2 by repeatedly striking it with a hammer until it sported visible cracks on its screen. To add insult to injury, he also slammed the Joy-Cons onto the ground, causing damage. Worse still, he doused them with water following this brutal treatment.

Take a look, I’m just a guy breaking a Nintendo Switch 2 online, here I am recording it forever since I’m quite the clumsy fellow…”

A short while later, as a police officer moved towards him, he expressed his intention of getting something more. But right at the moment he was preparing to re-enter the shop, an employee informed him that they wouldn’t allow him back inside.

Despite the worker asserting that he hadn’t been banned on this occasion, he was reminded of past actions that posed a risk to customers, ultimately leading him to depart.

After the YouTuber finished filming, it was revealed in the video that his friend had overheard them discussing taking a photo of him, and he turned out to be the first individual ever barred from the store.
