Built to Last — With One Notable Weak Spot

Overall, the Switch 2 impressed with its durability. According to Jerry, Nintendo has crafted a solid, well-built device that can handle the typical wear and tear of daily use. Whether it’s tossing the console into a backpack or gaming on the go, it appears more than up to the task.

However, the screen could be a point of concern. The plastic display, while lightweight and flexible, is highly susceptible to scratches — especially from metal objects, even blunt ones like keys or coins. These marks are easily visible and could detract from the visual clarity during gameplay. On the bright side, plastic items won’t leave a trace on the display.

Flame and Blade: The Toughness Verdict

In the classic flame test, the screen performed admirably, showing solid resistance to heat with no significant damage. The console’s outer shell also proved to be tough, withstanding pressure and flexing without cracking. That said, a scalpel did leave visible marks on the casing — though this is expected in such extreme tests.

Final Thoughts

The Nintendo Switch 2 seems to follow in the footsteps of its predecessor in terms of durability — rugged and reliable, but with a few trade-offs in materials. For most users, it should stand up well to everyday use, as long as they’re mindful of what comes into contact with the screen.
