Nintendo Switch 2 Withstands 50 Hits with Pliers — Destructive Test Reveals Exceptional Durability

Sure thing. Here’s how I’d rewrite it:

—

Okay, so there’s this YouTube guy, Zack from JerryRigEverything, who just ripped apart the new Nintendo Switch 2. You know, curious minds and all that. Anyway, he seemed pretty pleased about the whole thing. Inside, everything’s kinda modular—Joy-Con 2 sticks, headphone jack, you name it. Forget about fancy stuff though, a tri-point screwdriver might come in handy.

Now, there’ve been murmurs about the Switch 2 being a tad pricier to fix. Fancy parts, they say. But hey, Zack didn’t find it hard to take apart. Basic tools, a steady hand—voilà! When he pieced it back together, it was like nothing happened.

A bummer, though—the batteries. Glued down like they owe rent. Seriously, it’s like peeling dried gum. The old Switch didn’t have that glue hassle. And oh, if the game card slot or USB-C ports get busted, brace yourself. You’d have to swap the whole motherboard. Unless soldering’s your weekend jam, that is.

Oh, yeah—there’s this part in the video where he shows off the durability of that fancy screen. Imagine taking off a screen protector that’s supposed to stop screen shards from turning into confetti if it breaks. Kinda like those laminated car windshields. Zack’s got nerve, taking heavy pliers to it. Bam, bam, bam—50 whacks later, it finally shatters. And, get this, the console’s tough enough to survive (sorta). Reset it, and boom, you’re back in action. Not that I’d recommend giving your console a beating. Unless you like picking glass shards out of your thumb.
