US EditionNintendo Switch 2 Has Just Got Its First Teardown — Here's What We Learned
- Nintendo released the Switch 2 on June 5th, 2025, and YouTuber ProModding uploaded the first teardown video shortly after launch.
- This teardown follows a genuine motherboard leak in January and renewed scrutiny after iFixit downgraded the original Switch's repairability score due to stricter standards.
- The teardown shows key hardware closely resembles the original Switch, including the same thermal paste application and tighter but still wobbly Joy-Con attachments.

- Repairability concerns arise from the Switch 2’s outer screws and fragile support stand, suggesting that repair costs and durability may challenge owners going forward.
